 Wynsors World of Shoes is to take a new unit at the Lime Square shopping centre at Openshaw, east Manchester, with plans for a spring 2015 opening.

The company has taken a 10 year lease on a 4,079 sq. ft. unit in a prominent location at the centre fronting the busy Ashton Old Road, joining  a growing list of retailers at the centre which is anchored by an 80,000 sq. ft. Morrisons store.

Wynsors will start fitting out the company’s new unit in February ready for opening around April 2015, up to 15 new jobs will be created by the firm which has been in the footwear business for more than 50 years.

The Lime Square store is the latest of more than 40 Wynsors locations across the north of England – the company has built up a reputation for offering a great range of shoes and footwear at fantastic prices. Openshaw customers will find a fantastic selection of big brands such as Adidas, Nike, Hush Puppies, Skechers, and Kickers to name a few.

Founded in 1956 Wynsors has grown from a handful of shops and market stalls into a chain of stores averaging more than 6500 sq. ft. per store.  The company sells more than four million pairs of shoes every year and the new Openshaw store is part of the Wynsors expansion plans, placing it as the leading value footwear retailer in the North of England.

Lime Square has been development by Yorkshire based Dransfield Properties, working in partnership with Manchester City Council and New East Manchester. Wynsors joins an established retail line up including Morrisons, B&M Stores,  Poundland, McDonalds and The Gym Group.

The final phase of work was completed in summer 2014 and it’s this phase of the development where Wynsors will open the company's new store  – further announcements about retailers who are to take the remaining space at the centre will be made in the next few weeks.

Mark Richardson, Wynsors MD, said: "We are delighted to be opening our first store of 2015 in Openshaw and creating many new jobs for the area. I believe our wide range of footwear for all the family brings something new to the area.”
