Major Sports Retailer Set For Huge Comeback at Bassetlaw Town Centre

One of the UK’s biggest sports brands is making a return to a Bassetlaw town centre — and it’s bringing a brand new look with it.

Sports Direct is heading back to the Priory Centre in Worksop within the next few weeks, taking over a 6,000 sq. ft unit packed with top names like Nike, adidas, PUMA and Skechers.

And it’s not just the store that’s got people talking. The wider Priory Centre is undergoing a massive transformation, with demolition already underway ahead of plans that include a climbing wall, bowling alley, indoor adventure play area and a whole host of new dining and entertainment options.

Bassetlaw District Council says the return of Sports Direct is a sign of real momentum behind the project, with more than 10 new jobs set to be created as part of the store’s reopening.

Cabinet Member Cllr Steve Scotthorne said the move is “a big boost” for the centre and hopes it will draw further businesses — national, regional and independent — to get involved in the redevelopment.

For Retford shoppers, it’s well worth keeping an eye on what’s happening just down the road at the Priory Centre, S80 1JR — it’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting retail and leisure destinations in the district.
