A popular shoe chain is set to open a new shop in Darlington town centre. 

Shoezone has confirmed it will be launching its relocated branch at Unit 15 of the Cornmill Shopping Centre on Saturday, August 31. 

The footwear retailer - which was previously based at a unit on Northgate - will now be offering a bigger selection for customers in its new home, as well as an "exciting range of new brands". 

As well as stocking own brand styles, the new store will now also feature chains such as Heavenly Feet, Kickers, Walkright, Lilley and Skinner, and Osaga. 

The new Shoezone is located on the first floor of the centre in the former Wynsors World of Shoes, between Yours Clothing and Superdrug. 

The unit has been closed since the retailer, known for its focus on family footwear essentials at affordable prices, closed earlier this year after almost two years. 

To celebrate the launch of Shoezone, the chain has confirmed a number of special offers will be up for grabs for customers, including savings on a selection of various styles and seasonal opening offers.

Opening times for the store include 9am until 5.30pm from Monday to Saturday, with Sunday opening times being between 10.30am and 4.30pm. 

Anthony Smith, Shoezone Chief Executive, said: “It is exciting to be opening our relocated store in Darlington, which will see the launch of new brands for customers to enjoy.

"We look forward to welcoming customers into our new store and hope they enjoy the new variety of products available.”
