New Sports Direct store to open in Lancaster shopping centre
Two empty shop units in St Nicholas Arcades are to be turned into a new Sports Direct store.
The sports retail giant is due to open in the former HMV and Select premises “by the end of 2025”.
HMV closed its store in St Nicholas Arcades in August, while the Select clothing shop closed in October.
St Nicholas Arcades and Sports Direct are both owned by Frasers Group, who bought the shopping centre in 2024.
A Frasers Group spokesperson said: “We’re pleased to be opening a new 7,000 sq ft Sports Direct store, located in St Nicholas Arcades, Lancaster.
"Set to open by the end of 2025, the dynamic new store will offer customers the world's best sports and lifestyle brands, while also bringing other brands from Frasers Group’s ecosystem, including USC and GAME, to the location.”
Sports Direct also has a store at Sunnycliffe Retail Park in Mellishaw Lane.
