An outdoor shop in Macclesfield is closing down, but another one is about to open in its place.
Millets announced in the summer that they would be closing by the end of the year on 45 Mill St, Macclesfield SK11 6NE.
But now a sign has cropped up outside Millets stating that a GO Outdoors store would be 'coming soon'.
Macclesfield Nub News contacted GO Outdoors for comment, who were quick to confirm that a new GO Outdoors store will be opening in Macclesfield on December 1.
It is part of three new stores opening in Cheshire this week (the other two being in Warrington and Chester).
"GO Outdoors is opening 13 new express-style stores across the North West of England and North Wales," a spokesperson said.
"These smaller, high street-style stores represent an expansion of the GO Outdoors estate, following an extremely successful couple of years for the retailer.
"The new stores will enable shoppers to pick up specialist outdoor clothing and equipment in convenient high street locations.
"Although the stores are more compact than traditional GO Outdoors super-stores, a full range of stock will be available to order for collection via in store ordering, including tents and camping equipment, fishing, equestrian and climbing equipment.
"Each store will stock a variety of unbeatable brands, such as Rab, OEX and Berghaus, as well as trusted brands like Peter Storm, HiGear and Brasher.
"Store colleagues will also be on hand to offer expert advice and provide services like boot and rucksack fitting for customers.
GO Outdoors Express has secured 23 jobs roles in Cheshire and replaces Blacks and Millets stores, meaning Macclesfield Millets employees have been offered a new job.
John Hinde, Retail Director for GO Outdoors added: "We are extremely excited and proud to be able to expand GO Outdoors onto the high street in this way in Macclesfield and across Cheshire, and to serve customers within the convenience of their new local store.
"We have had a brilliant couple of years at GO, as more and more people are reaping the benefits of the outdoors for their physical and mental wellbeing, and this expansion is the outcome of that success.
"We're looking forward to offering more customers our unbeatable range of outdoor clothing, footwear and equipment, whilst also supporting local communities and high streets.
"Store Manager Chloe Gargano is looking forward to offering customers an unbeatable range of outdoor clothing, footwear and equipment, whilst supporting the local community and high street."
The company plans to continue the expansion of GO Outdoors Express shops across the country early next year.
GO Outdoors was founded in Sheffield in 1998. They have over 65 stores across the country.
