Sports Direct has opened a brand new flagship store in Birmingham.
The retailer's new branch has opened on New Street following an investment of more than £10 million.
The 60,000 sq ft store, which is set across four floors, boasts dedicated areas for football, running, outdoor and specialist sports alongside men's, women's and kidswear.
There are a number of specialist areas within the store too, including a permanent golf putting green, running gait analysis and a Jordan basketball performance challenge.
The Birmingham store is the first to house USC, GAME, Evans Cycles and a Belong esports arena under one roof. It is the second Sports Direct flagship store to open in the 海角视频 following the re-opening of the Oxford Street, London site last year.
Sports Direct's next flagship store is set to open in Manchester in late 2022.
