Former Debenhams store on iconic high street set for new lease of life

A Southport landmark is set to be given a new lease of life after being empty for two years.

The former Debenhams building in Southport closed in 2020 during the height of the pandemic. The property was bought by new owners in 2021 for £799,000.

Posters have now appeared in the window of the once iconic store located on Lord Street advertising that the premises would be suitable for anyone wanting to open a shop, a cafe, or a bar, with units available between 2,000 square feet and 10,000 square feet. The former Debenhams tore in Southport was originally built in 1888 and was a key element of Southport's retail success.
