Work has started on the opening of a new sports chain at a seaside retail park. JD Sports will open at Blackpool Retail Park, joining other chains including TK Maxx and Dunelm.
The former Office Outlet unit at Blackpool Retail Park on Squires Gate Lane in South Shore is being transformed by the national sports retailer. Planning permission was granted earlier this year for the scheme by Fylde Council which has planning jurisdiction for that part of the retail park.
Approval was given to vary a condition of the original planning permission to allow the sale of clothing including footwear and fashion goods including jewellery. Blackpool Council had objected to the new store – which will be around twice as big as JD Sports’ existing store in the Houndshill Centre – after raising concerns it could damage the viability of the main town centre shopping area.

But in a letter submitted with its planning application, JD Sports said it was committed to operating two stores in Blackpool with the Houndshill store remaining open. The retailer said: "JD Sports have a proud history of trading in Blackpool and remain committed to our high-quality town centre store at Houndshill which trades very well.
"The proposal is not a choice between Blackpool town centre and the retail park. We see the Blackpool area being able to accommodate our dual format offer to meet customer requirements in the same way that we operate in similar towns in close proximity such as Preston and Blackburn, which forms the basis of our legally binding commitment to trading from Houndshill.”
