The store is being created in the unit that was occupied by Comet on the Meole Brace Retail Park.

Comet has been empty since the electrical business went in to liquidation in November 2012.

The new Next will sell a wide range of home furnishings and also house Costa Coffee and a lingerie boutique.

Store manager Shane Ryder said: "We're so excited to open this store.

"The store has expanded in all areas but customers will notice a huge increase in our home offering."

A new TK Maxx store opened on the retail park off Hereford Road last year and other names on site include Argos, Sports Direct and Boots.
