"Delighted": Weekend Offender to open first English store in Sheffield city centre
Menswear retailer Weekend Offender is to open its first English shop in Sheffield city centre.
It has been announced the company, which was founded in Wales in 2004 and currently has one existing store in Bridgend, is to open on Pinstone Street in Sheffield in early 2026.
The shop will be the latest addition to the ‘Heart of the City’ development which has seen much of Sheffield city centre regenerated in recent years.
A spokesperson said: “Weekend Offender was inspired by football terrace culture and is known for its functional, no-nonsense menswear with a defiant twist. They offer a collection including jeans, hoodies, t-shirts, shorts and a selection of kids wear as well.”
Councillor Ben Miskell, Chair of the Transport, Regeneration and Climate Policy Committee at Sheffield City Council, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Weekend Offender to our brilliant Heart of the City project.
"Retail is playing an increasing role in the success of the transformation of the city centre alongside the food and beverage, high-quality office space and the residential apartments with this latest addition showing that we’re not the only people who think so.
“Over the past year we have seen some fantastic businesses coming into the Heart of the City with the whole development really coming to life.
"The addition of Weekend Offender, alongside the others we have announced in the past few weeks, just goes to prove the high calibre of companies we are attracting and, as a result, the unique offer we have for those who work, live and enjoy Sheffield city centre.”
It was recently announced that fashion brand Damaged Society is also opening in the Heart of the City area, while Güs, a sauna, ice bath, and a Scandinavian-style café experience, is also coming to the city.
The latter firm is taking over the former Sunday School building on Cambridge Street.
Earlier this year, the Heart of the City scheme won the Commercial Public – Private Partnership of the Year category at the Property Week Property Awards, recognising the partnership between the council and Queensberry Real Estate to develop it.
Paul Sargent, founder of Queensberry, said at the time: “I am incredibly proud of Queensberry that our work alongside Sheffield City Council on the transformative Heart of the City regeneration scheme has been recognised.
"We’re thrilled that a panel of our peers could see the incredible value and innovation our partnership has created to bring us out on top.
"This is indisputable proof of our ability to act as a trusted private sector partner to local authorities delivering best in class mixed use projects of the highest quality.”
