Shoe Zone steps into the Merrion Centre

Shoe Zone opens second outlet in Leeds city centre

Shoe Zone is about to open its doors for the first time in Leeds city centre’s Merrion Centre on Saturday 30th November.

The popular high street retail chain, which offers quality value shoes for women, men and children will open its doors at 12noon this Saturday, offering the first 50 customers 20 per cent off each £20 spend.

This is the second opening in Leeds city centre for the leading value shoe retailer, creating four new jobs. Its existing store in Leeds is located in Central Road and is also owned by Town Centre Securities PLC.

The Shoe Zone brand has been trading for over 30 years; it has 570 stores throughout the UK and Ireland, employing over 5000 people. Selling over 25 million pairs of shoes a year, which is the equivalent of 50 pairs every minute, the retailer continues to remain financially strong and has ambitious plans for 2014.

Naomi Shefford, Marketing and Property Director for Shoe Zone comments: “We’re thrilled to be opening our second store in Leeds city centre. With the Arena Quarter development well underway, it makes perfect business sense to open our new outlet in the Merrion Centre.

“In the current economic climate many of us are living on very tight budgets. We pride ourselves on offering style and amazing quality footwear at very affordable prices. We’re confident that the Merrion Centre shoppers will add us onto their Christmas shopping list, we really do cater for all; from furry slippers for a cosy night in, to sparkly heels for a festive night out.”

Helen Green, Associate Director of Estates for Town Centre Securities PLC comments; ‘The Merrion Centre’s footfall is steadily growing. We are confident that our strong customer base of family value shoppers, and fashion conscious students will enjoy shopping at Shoe Zone. We’re delighted they have chosen to open their second Leeds store in the Merrion Centre and we’re confident our shoppers will be equally pleased with our new addition.“
