Now, it seems opening is imminent, as the company look to fill roles at their newest store.

In a social media post, a spokesperson said: “We have full and part time vacancies available in our new cafe at St James Retail Park, Sheffield.

“For information on how to apply, please speak to a bookseller at our Orchard Square branch.”

The new store will sit next to Aldi, replacing what was once a Shoezone store.

It will be the third branch of Waterstones in the city. There is already a store at Orchard Square, in the city centre, as well as one at the Meadowhall shopping centre.

On its website, the company says of itself: “Dedicated to bringing books back into the cultural conversation, Waterstone’s fusion of literary range, author events, iconic bookshops and gifted booksellers transformed the idea of what a bookshop could be.”
