HAVE a peek inside Deichmann, the latest shop to open in the Old George Mall.

The giant German shoe retailer opened its doors to customers for the first time today, Wednesday, May 24.

This followed a number of delays for various reasons but that did not stop locals piling into the shop to see what was on offer.

Deichmann has replaced Topshop which was vacant since it closed in 2020.

Store manager Katie Summerhill, 24, said the shop beat its target number of customers "within the first hour".

She added: "The footfall has been really high. There was high anticipation for the store to open and it's drummed up a lot of interest.

"It's going to be a great addition to Salisbury."

There are opening offers running this weekend (May 27 and 28) which will see up to 50 per cent off.

Deichmann will continue to run a buy-one-get-one-free deal on sandals as well.

Katie, who has been managing Deichmann stores across the south for one and a half years, is still looking to hire a few more people and encouraged those interested to visit Indeed.
