In August, Tesco also applied for an Express store on Wellington Street, on the ground floor of the new Kangaroo Works housing block. Earlier this year Lidl opened in the former House of Fraser on High Street.
Nalla’s sells drinks, sweets, vapes, tobacco and mobile accessories.
It replaced video game venue Simulation Station which closed in July. At the time, owner Daniel Eshelby took a swipe at Sheffield City Council over traffic restrictions claiming it was ‘doing everything to try and stop people driving vehicles into the centre’.
