A popular shoe store has reopened its doors at Merry Hill - making the third store to return to the shopping centre in the last month. UK footwear specialist Office has opened a new store bolstering the shopping centre's leading footwear brands.

Visitors can shop Office's line-up of must-have fashion and sports footwear brands including Adidas, HOKA, Dr Martens, Birkenstock and more.

The new Merry Hill store hosts the retailer's unique range of women's, men's and children's footwear, as well as its selection of accessories, created by its in-house design team and global brand partnerships.

Office opened its new store between Marks & Spencer and Lush on the lower mall, joining other footwear retailers at the Brierley Hill shopping centre including schuh, Deichmann, Sketchers and Foot Locker.

Jonathan Poole, centre manager at Merry Hill, said: "We’re excited to share the news that leading fashion footwear specialist, Office, has returned to Merry Hill – providing our visitors with leading brands to suit every occasion and lifestyle.

"The new store is the third brand this month who have returned to the centre. Their arrival adds to the strong fashion offering here and follows investment from H&M in a bigger and more sustainable store at the centre, larger stores for Phase Eight and Hobbs, alongside existing brands such as Kurt Geiger, Mango, Dune London, River Island and flagship stores from Next, M&S and Primark."

It comes in a busy month for Merry Hill after Swarovski and Accessorize reopened stores at the shopping centre. While Wingstop opened their new branch last month - serving up the brand's classic wing collection, alongside a variety of boneless wings, tenders and chicken burgers, seasoned fries and freshly made dips.

This week, Merry Hill also announced the return of Europe's largest Halloween store, Halloween House, expected to open in August. From classic costumes and horror masks to make-up, spooky home decor and huge themed animatronics, the store stocks one of the largest collections of Halloween merchandise for adults and children.
