There’s so much to celebrate in the town right now, from the new businesses that have opened to the game-changing developments, like the Enterprise Centre, coming out of the ground.”
Recently it was revealed that more than 30 new businesses have opened in Chesterfield town centre in the last 12 months with more due to open in the coming weeks, showing that the town is in a strong position to recover from the pandemic.
In addition to new businesses, since 2021 nine businesses have also expanded into larger premises in the town centre, these include Rebel, Pizza Pi, Vintage Tea Rooms, Bee-Orchid and Twelfth Craft. The state-of-the-art Northern Gateway Enterprise Centre, which is located next to Elder Way, is due to open for business shortly – further boosting activity in the town centre.
Councillor Kate Sarvent, Chesterfield Borough Council’s cabinet member for town centres and visitor economy, said: “It’s great to welcome new businesses to Chesterfield town centre and celebrate those who are expanding and investing in our town. We’re making a significant investment across our town centre which will further boost business confidence by attracting more visitors and shoppers. Our town centre will be the go-to place to live, work, socialise and shop.”
