Big-name brand with 120 stores reveals when it's opening in Preston
Shoe retailer Deichmann has announced when its new Preston city centre store is to open - and how many jobs will be created.
It emerged last week that the firm was planning to bring a new branch to Fishergate, which will fill two empty units, after a planning application was submitted to Preston City Council to combine the properties.
If approved, the outlet will open in what was the Emmaus charity store and the former Mountain Warehouse next door.
Now, the company revealed that its new shop will open in the first half of next year, with recruitment for in-store positions beginning after Christmas.
A spokesperson for Deichmann said: “[We are] scheduled to open a new store in Preston in spring 2026 and we are creating 10-12 new roles.
“Recruitment will commence in January. Preston will be a fantastic addition to our other stores in North West England.”
At present, the nearest Deichmann branches to Preston are in Blackburn and Blackpool.
