JD Sports to upsize in Burnley
JD Sports has signed a lease for an upsized store at Charter Walk Shopping Centre in Burnley.
The sportswear retailer will be relocating from its current store within the scheme to a larger, more prominent unit to increase its ground floor trading space from 3,973 square feet to 5,817 square feet.
With the opening expected this summer, landlord works to amalgamate six vacant units for the store are already underway. Addington, as asset managers for the store’s owners, Burnley Council, is in active discussions with interested parties to re-let its current store.
The news has followed upsizes by Shoe Zone and Specsavers at the scheme.
