Major sports retailer Decathlon has told Bristol Live it is "not currently progressing any plans around Cribbs Causeway" after reports previously suggested it was being lined up to open a new store at the site.
It's been over two years since a planning application hinted that Decathlon was eyeing up a retail unit at an under-construction leisure complex at The Venue in South Gloucestershire. While Planet Ice and All-Star Skates have now opened at Cribbs Causeway, Bristol remains the only 'big six' city in the UK without a standalone branch of the French sports retailer.
A Decathlon spokesperson said: "Whilst we're not currently progressing any plans around Cribbs Parkway, Bristol remains on our radar as an important city in the UK."
