Popular footwear chain shoezone is set to open a store at The Rock Shopping Centre in Bury later this month.

The retailer is relocating from the Mill Gate to a bigger unit at The Rock, next to Primark, and will open on Saturday 20^th May.

The full team will relocate to the store and create 1 new part-time job. The new, larger store, will stock more brands, increasing the amount of options for customers to choose from.

Anthony Smith, shoezone Chief Executive, said: “We’re delighted to be opening this relocated shoezone store in Bury. We’ll be selling our most popular core range of own-brand everyday footwear, alongside well-known branded shoes, making our entire retail collection easily accessible.”

The retailer is the latest of a number of brands to join the tenant mix at The Rock. The shopping and leisure destination has recently welcomed Vanilla, Skechers and Kaspa’s Desserts to its offering.

Arnold Wilcox-Wood, Centre Director at The Rock, said: “We are really looking forward to welcoming shoezone to The Rock. It’s a very popular chain and will be a great addition to the centre. We’re sure this new store will be a huge hit with our customers.”

shoezone offers low price and high quality footwear for the whole family. They operate from 340 stores and have approximately 2,550 employees across the UK.
