The spokeswoman said: “The new store will be two-and-a-half times bigger than the current unit.

“It will still stock the whole Shoe Zone store range, plus hundreds of branded styles such as Heavenly Feet, Wrangler, Lilley & Skinner and Kickers, hence the ‘big box’ term.

“All staff are transferring to the new store and there will be seven managers and supervisors and five existing part-time staff, as well as the two new part-time staff being recruited for the opening.
