FOUR more big name shops have signed up to Warrington's new shopping complex, alongside Debenhams.

The clothing store H&M, Next, Sports World and Boots have all signed deals to anchor the town centre's £120 million Golden Square extension.

In addition to Debenhams, which will be opening its first store in Warrington with an 115,000 sq ft unit, H&M has taken a 23,500 sq ft unit and Sports World is taking a 20,000 sq ft unit.

Next and Boots, both of which already have stores in the town centre, will be opening new stores within the redevelopment taking units of 18,000 sq ft and 25,000 sq ft.

The project will also include the refurbishment of the existing Golden Square shopping centre, which comprises a further 310,000 sq ft of retail space and is anchored by Marks and Spencer and BhS.

Richard Din, managing director for H&M said: "We have stores in other Lend Lease retail developments in the UK, and are pleased to have secured space in its latest development at Golden Square."

Rupert Wood of Lend Lease said: "This is a hugely positive and exciting step for the project.

"With such a strong regional catchment and the benefit of these new lettings.

"Golden Square is now in a great position to attract new retailers to the town."
