Today (April 17), Schuh launched its brand-new store at Trinity Leeds with a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the occasion. The ribbon was cut by new store manager Liz Peacock, while Leeds indie café Vinyl Grounds provided customers with barista-made coffee.
Announcing the store’s arrival, Schuh chief retail officer said: "Opening our new store at Trinity Leeds and being back in the city centre is an exciting moment for schuh.
“Our new schuh store will reaffirm our connection with the Leeds community and ensure we are at the heart of the city’s retail scene. We look forward to welcoming customers into the new space, offering them a more dynamic retail experience designed for discovery and self-expression.”
