Plans for New Look to return to Weymouth town centre
Planning documents show the fashion retailer could be taking over one of the empty shops
Last updated 9th Mar 2022
It looks like New Look is returning to Weymouth town centre.
The fashion retailer is asking permission to put up an illuminated New Look sign on an empty shop in New Bond Street that used to be occupied by Monsoon.
Documents have been submitted to Dorset Council with a reference number of P/ADV/2022/01462.
New Look had to leave their former premises in the town centre a few weeks ago, after their landlord exited the lease early.
In a statement to Greatest Hits Radio at the the time, a spokesperson said:
“Regrettably the New Look store in Weymouth will be closing in February after the landlord decided to exit the lease early. Whilst it was therefore not our decision to close the store, we are focusing on supporting our store colleagues and where possible finding alternative roles for them within the business.”
Greatest Hits Radio Dorset has contacted New Look this morning for a comment on this latest update.
We are still waiting to hear back from them.
