JD Sports to open upsized store at Meadowhall

JD Sports is set to open an upsized store at Sheffield’s Meadowhall shopping centre.

Opening at the end of July, the sportswear and fashion retailer’s new space will be almost triple the size of its previous space, spanning 29,225 sq ft.

This larger space will enable the retailer to offer a wider range of clothing, footwear, and sportswear. It will also feature self-service tills, aimed at offering a faster and more convenient experience for customers.

JD joins Meadowhall’s existing sportswear and fashion offering, which includes brands such as Sweaty Betty, Flannels, Stradivarius, and Pull&Bear.

Darren Pearce, centre director at Meadowhall, said: “JD is already one of our most popular retailers, so to see the brand invest in a store of this scale is fantastic – it really demonstrates its confidence in Meadowhall as a destination. Almost tripling in size, the new store will give shoppers access to a wider range of brands and the very latest in sportswear and fashion, all under one roof.

“It builds on what has been a brilliant year of new arrivals at the centre. From Pull&Bear and Stradivarius to now a huge new JD, we’re incredibly proud of the new brands and experiences we’re giving to our shoppers.”

James Air, director of group real estate and acquisitions at JD, added: “We’re proud to be expanding our presence in Sheffield, creating a prime megastore within the heart of Meadowhall. This investment reflects our commitment to the city and gives customers access to an even bigger selection of the world’s leading sports, fashion and lifestyle brands, all within a phenomenal, high-spec new retail space. We can’t wait to welcome shoppers through the doors.”
