Kent's only Nike store is set to finally reopen on Monday following a major expansion.
The Ashford Designer Outlet shop has been closed since September for refit works - with 2,500 sq ft of shop floor added.
It has expanded into the former Lyle and Scott and Caffe Nero units - both of which have moved to different spots at the Outlet.
The Scottish knitwear brand has now moved to the other end of the Outlet, while Caffe Nero has shifted closer to the centre's main entrance, allowing Nike to take up the space.
To be called Nike Unite, the store will become the Outlet's second largest, behind only Polo Ralph Lauren.
“It’s a really impressive concept which allows space for the brand’s latest ‘Unite’ retail experience,” said Peter Heritage of the Designer Outlet.
“Unite is a community-focused offer from the brand, which aims to help locals connect more closely with sport and gives the option for locally curated products reflecting the interest of Ashford and the south east.”
It comes months after Adidas moved to a new site by the Designer Outlet's main entrance.
Meanwhile, a closing down sale has started at Mountain Warehouse as the company is moving to a different spot in the centre.
