A NEW footwear retailer will be opening in Cornwall's only city this week after last having closed its doors back in 2017.

UK footwear retailer Shoe Zone is set to open its Truro store tomorrow, Friday, August 12, located at 91-92 Pydar Street, Truro, TR1 2BD.

The previous store location closed in June 2017, however, the company says the new location brings lots of new offers and opportunities with one new position.

The new store will stock popular brands such as Lotus, Heavenly Feet, Jana Softline, S’Oliver and Lunar, along with Shoe Zone’s great value own-brand shoes.

Shoppers in Truro and the wider Cornwall area can expect to find sandals, canvas shoes, and trainers for the summer season.

The store will be open Monday to Saturday, 9am – 5.30pm, and Sunday, 10am – 5pm.

Claire Dilallo, who started with the company at the Camborne store, will be transferring over to Truro as Store Manager.

Anthony Smith, Chief Executive at Shoe Zone, said: "We’re excited to open our Truro store with a modern look and access new brands, as well as our own popular range of stylish and affordable shoes.

"Opening in time for the height of summer, our new store will make buying shoes for the warmer weather and for the return to school, much easier.

"From sandals and clogs to more formal styles and school shoes, you’ll be able to get them all here."
