On completion, Dunelm Mill will relocate from its existing site at Thorne Road Retail Park to the new store.

Richard Bannister, development manager at St Modwen, said: “Construction of the Dunelm Mill store marks another significant step forward in the development of our Wheatley Hall Road site. The redevelopment of this prominent site has the potential to create around 75 jobs for local people as well as bringing important investment to the region.”

The site was formerly occupied by Tyco Electronics.
