Another new shop confirms when it will open in Sheffield city centre
Shop set to open in high profile Sheffield city centre location
Orchard Square in Sheffield city centre is set for another shop opening.
The precinct, near the top of Fargate, will see a new store opening up next week in the unit that was once occupied by a branch of the Body Shop chain.
The well known social enterprise, Printed By Us, is set to take over the unit, in what will be a return to the well known shopping area.
They have more recently been based at a shop in Chapel Walk, which they are leaving for the new site
Printed by Us is part of the Archer Project, a charity for the homeless run from Sheffield Cathedral.
It gives opportunities to vulnerable people to learn new skills, build confidence, and move towards more fulfilling lives, and is directed and run by people who have overcome similar challenging circumstances themselves.
The business will sell its exclusive art prints, clothes and mugs at the shop, which will also offer work opportunities in retail and customer service.
Archer project chief executive Tim Renshaw confirmed that the business was moving its shop to the new location.
He said: “We’ve got the keys, and we’re getting it ready.
“We’re in the process of moving things over from our unit in Chapel Walk back to Orchard Square. We are expecting to open next week, and it should be next Wednesday - that’s what we’re planning.”
He said that as a charity, Printed by Us relied on short term low cost agreements with landlords, which meant they were usually short term agreements, and added they were grateful for the support from the landlords.
Printed By Us also have their printing site in Orchard Square.
It is the latest business to confirm it is moving into Orchard Square, with a new store called In The Making due to open in May in the unit which was once the Blue Banana shop.
