Well the “high end” shops have been in T5 since it opened over ten years ago and appear to have attracted enough trade to keep them in business ..I even succumbed to a Paul Smith cycling jersey from the T5 shop a few years ago.
As for the “average traveller”, you’ve got several WH Smith’s and Boots outlets, at least one Dixons “duty free”, the generic (supposedly) Duty free area in the centre of T5A and the various food outlets...they all seem to do OK.
