The new 2,000 sq ft store will create 10 jobs for the town centre and is located in between WH Smith and Delfino Lounge in Dolphin’s Falkland Square.

John Grinnell, Manager of Dolphin Shopping Centre, explained: “The opening of Skechers is proof that our retail offering is going from strength to strength despite delays caused by the pandemic. We are pleased to be already attracting some heavy weight brands which complement our future strategy for the Dolphin Shopping centre.

“The aim for the Dolphin Shopping Centre is to create a space which champions national brands and also nurtures our home-grown independent businesses. This will provide shoppers with the convenience of having an unrivalled selection of retailers all under one ‘roof’ in Poole town centre.”
