JD Sports and B&M are set to open shortly in two of the city’s old Wilko stores, and the historic Leah’s Yard is also due to open this summer, following a major regeneration, housing a variety of retailers showcasing Sheffield’s best makers.
While there are still a number of empty shopping units in Sheffield, and times remain tough for high street retailers, the raft of new or planned openings around the city recently suggests things are perhaps looking up.
We’ve put together a list of some of the most exciting shops which have opened recently or are coming soon around Sheffield, from the city centre and Meadowhall to suburbs including Crookes and Walkley.
Which of these new shops are you most excited and what other stores would you like to see open near you?
13. Pound Bargains
Pound Bargains opened in June in part of what was the popular Beeches of Walkley farm shop, on South Road, Walkley. Shoppers have been impressed by the variety and quality of items in stock at the discount store, ranging from toys to toiletries, kitchen gadgets and tools. | National World Photo: David Kessen
