Grosvenor welcomes JD Sports expansion

JD Sports, the trainer and sportswear retailer, has opened a 40,000 sq ft store on Liverpool ONE’s Paradise Street.

JD Sports’ new unit is split over two levels and sits at the gateway to Liverpool ONE from Church Street. The shop is one of the brand’s largest stores in the world and stocks its full range of products. The upsized store was created by incorporating an adjacent unit, previously Superdry, which relocated and opened a concept shop on South John Street earlier in the year.

Designed by Brinkworth, the interior is unique to Liverpool ONE, and includes interactive transparent LED screens, a JD football zone and footwear.

Miles Dunnett from Grosvenor Europe said: “The opening of JD Sports’ new store on Paradise Street is a major moment for Liverpool ONE, and a fantastic endorsement of its status and desirability amongst leading brands.

“JD Sports adds to the excellent fashion line-up of stores at Liverpool ONE that are the very best representations of some of the most sought-after consumer brands in the world, including Zara, Apple, Victoria’s Secret, Beauty Bazaar Harvey Nichols, Michael Kors and Nespresso.”

Cushman & Wakefield and Metis Real Estate Advisors acted for Liverpool ONE.  JD Sports dealt direct.
