Speculation has been growing regarding TK Maxx opening a store in Leamington, with the owners of the Royal Priors shopping centre commenting that the retailer was ‘keen’ to take a space there in 2014.

TK Maxx is being cagey about opening a store at the shopping park.

A company spokeswoman said: “We know shoppers will be excited at the prospect of a TK Maxx store in Leamington but we don’t want to make any promises to our customers before the plans are finalised. We therefore can’t give any more information at this stage.”

Plans for the new unit, which Halfords will open on Saturday May 20, were approved by the district council in December 2015.

At the time, Ashley Collins of Royal Priors owner LaSalle Investment Management said: “Leamington is vulnerable to out-of-town retail space, and needs protection from out-of-town expansion.”
