International fashion chain Urban Outfitters eyes new shop in Sheffield city centre
Sheffield’s retail offering has received a double boost in two days
A second international fashion chain could be moving into a regeneration zone in Sheffield city centre.
Urban Outfitters has submitted a planning application for a sign at the old Weekday shop on Pinstone Street.
The unit is in the former Weekday clothes shop in the retail section of the city council’s £470m Heart of the City scheme.
It will be next to a forthcoming Superdry fashion store, in the old Monki shop, which was announced yesterday.
Weekday and Monki closed in June last year.

US-owned Urban Outfitters already has an outlet on The Avenue at Meadowhall.
Sean McClean, director of regeneration and development at Sheffield Council, said yesterday: “The unit Superdry is moving into is one of the biggest within the project marking a major sign of the confidence the business has in the Heart of the City and Sheffield city centre as a whole.”
