Deichmann is taking a lease on a 163,500 sq ft purpose-built warehouse, with offices, in Northamptonshire.
The shoe chain, which is Europe’s biggest footwear retailer, has taken the unit at the Centrix Business Park, in Corby – a few miles to the east of its 海角视频 headquarters in Market Harborough.

Deichmann director Chris Holden said: “We are continuing to expand our presence in the 海角视频 both online and opening new high street stores.
“This development will enhance that expansion and enable us to improve service levels across the business.
“We believe Corby is a great location for our 海角视频 warehouse, being close to the centre of our store network and providing a skilled workforce for logistics operations.”
The 39 acre business park forms part of Corby’s new regeneration framework and offers “built to suit” industrial and warehouse opportunities.
The commercial lease agreement marks significant inward investment for the area.

The retailer will retain its head office in south Leicestershire, positioning itself strategically to benefit from excellent location and direct access to major 海角视频 transport networks.
James Richards, development director at Clowes Developments, said: “Securing another major occupier for the scheme in Corby is a great result.
“The scope of the building and its high-spec delivery will, without doubt, add considerable value to the ongoing regeneration aspirations for this town.
“Bringing a household names such as Deichmann and BakeAway to Centrix Park are lines in the sand marking the bright new future for the former brownfield site.”
Property agent Budworth Hardcastle acted for Deichmann in negotiating the acquisition and has been retained in a project monitoring role and to manage the fit-out.
A spokeswoman for Clowes said: “The two plots located opposite Deichmann have serious interest from occupiers and investors alike with announcements due in the coming weeks.”
