The unit soon to be occupied by Waterstones

A new bookshop is opening in Lichfield next month.

Waterstones will open in the former Dorothy Perkins unit on Market Street.

Luke Taylor, the company’s retail director, said:

> “We are delighted to confirm that Waterstones will be opening a bookshop in Lichfield.  
>  
> “We have long hoped to open a shop in this historic and popular city and have now found a great location for our bookshop.  
>  
> “The work to fit out the shop has begun, and we plan to open our doors to customers on 20th May.  
>  
> “Our bookselling team can’t wait to welcome Lichfield’s readers into their beautiful new shop and to recommend all the brilliant books waiting to be discovered.”  
>  
> Luke Taylor, Waterstones

The unit has been empty since [the closure of all Dorothy Perkins sites](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/lichfield-branch-of-dorothy-perkins-to-close-after-new-owner-agrees-to-buy-brand-but-not-stores/) across the UK last year.
