‘Really exciting’ - Next opens new store in West Midlands as excited customers get first look inside
The new Next opened this morning with a ribbon cutting ceremony.
A new Next store with a Costa Coffee opened at a Staffordshire retail park this morning, giving excited customers their first chance to take a look inside.
The store, which is one of the first of the firm’s shops to trial self-serve tills, opened at Orbital Retail Park, Cannock, with a ribbon cutting ceremony.
The new store, which was previously occupied by M&S, has a range of items including clothing, footwear, and associated accessories.
A Costa Coffee concession is also included inside the store and it will also offer free parcel pick ups and returns for online customers.
Emily, assistant manager of the brand new Next, said: “The opening has gone really well. We're really excited.
“We've got a great team and we can't wait to welcome all the customers.”
Speaking about what is in the store, she said: “We've got a mens, we've got a womens, we've got a childrenswear. We've also got a Costa, if you want to have a coffee and sit down.
“We have got home tablets as well, which means that we can order furniture for you.
“Next is a huge brand. Everyone loves it. So I think it's really exciting that we can have a new one in Cannock.
“I think we're going to have a really big customer base.
“You can get your parcels from here, which is a great add on as well.
“Any returns also you can do here.”
The store will open 9am-8pm Monday to Friday, 9am-7pm on Saturdays and 10am-4pm on Sundays.
M&S vacated the unit in November 2025 following the approval of its relocation to the larger Unit 1, which was formerly occupied by Homebase.
