Malcolm's Musicland in Chorley to be transformed into a cafe with new name - this is what we know so far
The logo was changed to Musicland yesterday.
The store closed last year after Malcolm Allen who owned and ran Malcolm’s Musicland for over 50 years passed away peacefully in January after a decade-long battle with prostate cancer.
Plans submitted to Chorley Council show the former music shop, located within a former chapel at 38A Chapel Street, will be converted into a cafe across the ground floor with front seating area and a residential apartment across the first floor.
There will also be the creation of a rear seating area with a retractable roof and the demolition of the existing front extension.
No date has yet been given for when work will start or who the contractors undertaking the job will be.
Malcolm’s daughter Lucy has commissioned Philip Lambert Architecture to develop a scheme that "both secures the future of the property and provides a fitting tribute to her father’s legacy".
Posting on the former business page, a spokesperson updated the name to ‘Musicland’ and said: “Something new is coming” against a red curtain and a spotlight.
