A CLOTHES retailer will become the latest new addition to a Bradford shopping centre this weekend.
Jack & Jones will officially open its store to customers at The Broadway on Saturday, December 10.
The firm has signed a lease for a 2,225 sq ft unit located in the Petergate Mall and the store has created 10 new jobs.
Staff could be spotted inside getting the new store ready at the centre ahead of its opening tomorrow.
Jack & Jones started more than 25 years ago, initially selling denim products including jeans. Its range has since expanded to other clothing items including sweatshirts, leather jackets, T-shirts, boots and jogging bottoms.
It is the retailer’s second site in West Yorkshire following its branch in Huddersfield. According to its website, Jack & Jones already had 28 stores across the UK before the Bradford opening.
Ian Ward, general manager at The Broadway, welcomed Jack & Jones to the centre’s retail offering in time for Christmas shopping.
He said: "We are thrilled that the new retailer Jack & Jones will be opening its doors on Saturday, December 10.
“The new Jack & Jones store will be the retailer's second store in Yorkshire.
“Jack & Jones will create 10 new jobs as it opens a 2,225 sq ft unit in the Petergate Mall.
“Ensuring that The Broadway brings new and exciting retailers to Bradford is a huge priority and I am confident that the new retailer will be a welcome addition to the centre.”
Mr Ward previously said that 2022 has been an exciting year for The Broadway.
