Europe’s largest shoe retailer has officially opened a store in Bolton town centre. Deichmann opened its doors at 10am today, Tuesday, June 11, with customers gathering outside to see the new shop on the lower level of Market Place Shopping Centre. The retail giant’s 493 sq/m site has undergone a £550,000 investment ahead of the opening of the store, located where The Market Place Emporium used to be housed, before it moved next to The Perfume Shop and River Island.
The opening has created nine new jobs in the area consisting of assistant and supervisor roles. Customers were excited to see the new store opening and were given goodie bags on arrival.
