“We’ll be selling our most popular core range of own-brand everyday footwear, alongside fashion lines and well-known branded shoes, making our entire retail collection more easily accessible.”

The store will be open 9am to 5.30pm Monday to Saturday, and 10am to 4pm on Sundays.

The Grosvenor Shopping Centre is now under new ownership after it was snapped up at the end of January by Evolve Estates, who bought the site from Legal and General for an undisclosed sum. The addition of Shoezone is one of Evolve Estates first acts as new owners.

Joe O’Keefe, one of the founding partners of Evolve Estates, said in January: “We are pleased to have completed this acquisition in an incredibly challenging market, cementing our commitment to continued investment in the retail sector.

“This is one of the largest retail centres to come under our ownership and we’re excited to get to work. We’re already in discussion with numerous tenants who will complement the scheme and the wider Northampton town centre offer.”

The two-storey shopping centre was refurbished in 2015 and is anchored by Primark, Boots and Next. Other national retailers include: Office, Superdry, Lush, Pandora, Smiggle, Deichmann Shoes, and River Island.

However, major fashion brand New Look vacated its massive Grosvenor Centre unit in February this year. It currently sits empty and boarded up.
