A leading UK sports-fashion retailer has confirmed it will be relocating to its bigger Crewe store this weekend - creating 15 news jobs in the process.

JD Sports is set to open its new store on Crewe's Grand Junction Retail Park this Saturday (August 20).

The unit, formerly occupied by Poundstetcher, is 6,300 square feet in size - more than three times bigger than the Crewe town centre store.

Crewe's JD Sports store, Queensway has always retailed at 2,000 sq ft. It is now closing down to make way for the bigger unit.

JD Crewe's store manager told Nub News: "You can expect a bigger and better shopping experience with a lot more exciting brands due to the increase of space.

"There will be a more impressive look and feel, with more staff and a more pleasant experience for customers."

The sports retailer is offering a special opening deal where could get your trainers personalised for absolutely nothing.
