Derbion ties up deal with national footwear brand

Pavers has agreed a deal to join the Derbion shopping centre, with the footwear brand opening at the Derby scheme in September.

The retailer – which operates over 150 stores in the UK – will take 4,000 sq ft of space, offering a range of footwear and accessories including handbags.

Beth McDonald, managing director of Derbion, said: “The new Pavers store is a welcome addition to our growing footwear and fashion line-up. 

“Pavers’ decision to join Derbion showcases our thriving retail environment, driven by our focus on enhancing existing brands and attracting new ones.”

A spokesperson from Pavers added: “We’re really looking forward to joining an impressive line-up of retailers and bringing a great selection of adults’ footwear to Derbion. 

“The new store provides us with a great opportunity to grow our national footprint at one of the leading shopping destinations in the Midlands.”

The signing comes amid a period of significant leasing activity at Derbion, with JD Sports, New Look, and Ann Summers upsizing and relocating within the scheme following a £5m investment.

B&M, White Stuff, and Castore have also all taken units at Derbion over recent months.
