A new Sports Direct store is opening in Swansea's Parc Tawe. Shoppers have spotted new signage in the windows of the old Mothercare unit, which left the shopping park in 2020.
It will be the third store in in the city, joining sites at Morfa Shopping Park and on Oxford Street. The store at Parc Tawe will also house Evans Cycles and Game. Both were bought out by Frasers Group, who own Sports Direct in 2018 and 2019 respectively.
Sports Direct spokesperson said it will open in July.
