Fit out teams work seven days a week for June opening of £50m Fox Valley development

The new £50m Fox Valley development in north Sheffield opens on June 16th, and fit out teams are now working seven days a week to ensure the first phase of stores are ready to open.

A wide range of new retailers will open at the town centre development which can be accessed from the A616 Stocksbridge bypass where a new link road has been completed.

Work is currently being carried out on all internal shop fit-outs ready for the centre’s unveiling next month.

The development is anchored by a 20,000 sq ft Aldi store which will open on the morning of June 16th.

Other stores preparing for the June 16th opening include Pets at Home, Regatta, Full Gas Bikes and the Cornish fashion and homewares brand Seasalt.

Work on Ponti’s Italian Kitchen at Fox Valley is also on schedule for the opening date with the team from One Concept project managed by designer Simon McIlwraith of Collective Design.

Ponti’s Italian Kitchen houses a first floor Spumante bar with balcony and the ground floor restaurant has bi-folding doors with an outdoor seating area.

Other first phase coffee shops and restaurants due to open at Fox Valley include Costa Coffee and NYC Bar and Grill. Edinburgh Woollen Mills will open on June 23rd, which will also house a Peacocks and Ponden Mills.

Work is also underway on the internal design of both Champley’s Shoes and Sorelle Jewellers ready for opening in June.

A second phase of store openings will follow in September when the centre’s boutique department store Sandersons will open as well as M&Co and Next.

Amanda Holmes, head of communications at Dransfield Properties, said: “We are definitely on the countdown to the first stores opening on June 16th and there’s a great deal of activity across the centre now.

“It’s great to see the store internals starting to come together and take shape and the signage going up at the centre ready for our first customers.”
