Leading sports fashion retailer JD has officially opened the doors of its brand-new flagship store today at the Grosvenor Centre, Northampton. Opening in Unit 29–31 Newland Walk, the store spans over 14,000 sq. ft, marking a major investment in the region’s retail landscape 

The store, which relocates from JD’s former site on Abington Street, now offers customers an enhanced shopping experience in a prime, central location within the Grosvenor Centre. The relocation reflects a strategic decision to consolidate JD’s presence in the heart of Northampton’s retail hub.

Dan Davies, Senior Asset Manager at Sheet Anchor Evolve, part of M Core, the owners of the Grosvenor Centre, commented:

“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome JD into its brand-new unit at the Grosvenor Centre. Their decision to relocate within Northampton speaks volumes about the strength and growing appeal of the centre. This opening not only enhances our tenant mix but also further solidifies the Grosvenor Centre’s position as the town’s go-to retail destination.”

James Air, Director of Group Real Estate and Acquisitions at JD said: “We’re excited to be opening our bigger and better store in the Grosvenor Shopping Centre. Northampton is an important location for us, and we can’t wait to welcome shoppers into the new space to explore everything JD has to offer” 

JD is encouraging consumers to head into the new store on the opening weekend from Saturday 30th August to Sunday 31st August to explore the new space. 

The new store is set to be a key attraction for visitors heading into the town centre, offering the latest collections from brands such as Nike, adidas, The North Face, and more.
