Plans for former BHS store sees new frontage housing four smaller units
Plans for the refurbishment of the former BHS store in Stockport town centre have taken a step forward after Robertson Construction’s appointment to complete the project.
Stockport Council purchased the store in 2019 as part of its investment in its £1 billion regeneration plans for the town centre.

Proposals for the store will see the large site split into four smaller units – two at street level, one on the first floor, and one basement unit. A new modern frontage will also be added to the building in Merseyway, while the wall art on the side of the site will be retained.
Bringing the BHS store back into use is a part of Stockport Council’s long-term regeneration plans for Merseyway and the wider town centre. Work is underway to repurpose several units in the shopping centre for new uses, including the development of the Stockroom library, community and education centre and the delivery of a new hub for start-ups and small businesses, the Merseyway Innovation Centre.
