What's happening with shop on corner of Briggate and The Headrow in Leeds?

Work has begun on refitting a shop on Leeds' busiest shopping street in readiness for the arrival of a new business.

The premises on the corner of Briggate and The Headrow were most recently home to discount retailer, but have also been home to an American sweet shop and Dorothy Perkins in recent years.
