The former Hanna Andersson space is getting a new tenant – Dr. Martens.
“Dr. Martens, also commonly known as Doc Martens, Docs or DMs[1] is a British footwear and clothing brand, headquartered in Wollaston in the Wellingborough district of Northamptonshire, England. Whilst famous for their footwear, they also make a range of accessories – shoe care products, clothing, bags, etc. Their footwear is distinguished by its air-cushioned sole (dubbed Bouncing Soles), upper shape, welted construction and yellow stitching.”
Construction has started and we’d expect the new shop to open late the spring into early summer.
