Get ready fashionistas, because Urban Outfitters is coming to Sheffield.
The international fashion brand is known for its trendy, y2k fashion pieces in both menswear and womenswear.
It has become the latest brand to take a space at Sheffield's coveted Heart of the City regeneration project.
Urban Outfitters has recently agreed on a lease for a 8,500 sq ft of retail space located on Pinstone Street.

Working alongside RivingtonHark, Urban Outfitters will join recent arrivals Superdry, Lucy & Yak, Fjallraven, Sostrene Grene, and Weekend Offender as part of the centre’s “evolving” mix of international, regional and independent retail brands.
It's safe to say that the project has completely transformed Sheffield City Centre, with a "thriving concentration of shops, bars, cafes, restaurants, experiences, apartments, townhouses, and over 330,000 sq ft of occupied workspace” taking over the area.
Sean McClean, director of regeneration and development at Sheffield City Council, said: “It is great to see the momentum surrounding our Heart of the City project shows no signs of slowing down, as we see another retailer secured to move into the development.
"This builds on recent openings to increase the retail offer in Heart of the City. Our aim was to transform and regenerate the area of the city centre, bringing people back into Sheffield and we’ve done just that. The city centre is a fantastic place for people to live, work and enjoy.”
Laurence Jones, Portfolio director at RivingtonHark, also said: “At RivingtonHark we are a trusted partner among local authorities for delivering long-term value across complex regeneration projects. We are currently working with 10 local councils across the UK to deliver vibrant destinations and together with Sheffield City Council we have helped transform the city centre into a flagship location for offices, retail, leisure and F&B operators.
"With international brands such as Urban Outfitters queuing to become part of Heart of the City, complimented by cutting edge regional and independent brands, we look forward to announcing more new arrivals as we continue to transform the city centre.’"
A beloved Sheffield independent is expanding, and this time in the leafy suburb of Broomhill.
Just when you thought Sheffield's matcha scene couldn't get any better...MADE announces that they're opening a third site.
And judging by what they've teased over on their social media, this looks like it's set to be their best one yet.
Since launching last year, MADE has built a loyal following thanks to its aesthetic drinks, inventive flavours and a menu that goes far beyond your standard coffee shop offering.

This pastel-toned, checker-floored, light-filled space first popped up on Ecclesall Road and was nothing short of a roaring success.
So much so, that they expanded across Yorkshire to open in Leeds on bustling Lower Briggate.
At its core, MADE specialises in hand-whisked matcha, with a rotating lineup of seasonal specials that are as photogenic as they are drinkable. Think strawberry shortcake matcha, sticky date lattes, and the much-hyped banana bread matcha that’s gained a cult following across both cities.
Alongside that, you’ll find iced coffees, 'split cups' for indecisive sippers, and smoothies inspired by the cult-favourite Erewhon.
MADE is also serving up generous açaí bowls, fresh sandwiches (including their popular tuna-cado option), salads which you can shake like a Kardiashian, and other grab-and-go bites.
Britpop legends Pulp to be inducted into Sheffield’s Walk of Fame this Friday
Clementine Hall
Sheffield music royalty Pulp are getting their very own star on the Sheffield Walk of Fame.
I mean...it's about time, isn't it?
The Britpop favourites fronted by icon Jarvis Cocker will be officially inducted into the Sheffield Legends Walk of Fame outside Sheffield Town Hall this Friday 30 October, with the unveiling scheduled for 2pm.
And don't fret, because anyone can head down to watch the occasion and show their support for the beloved band.
Not just that, but the band will be taking charge of a beloved local boozer and grassroots gig venue The Hallamshire Hotel on the same evening.
The news was announced on 9 October by Rough Trade Records, along with Pulp themselves.
Their pop-up pub in Manchester in August featured a jukebox programmed by Jarvis Cocker himself, along with merch literally plastered on every wall and even the ceilings.
The previous Pulp pop-up pub had loads of merch for sale, from tees and totes to records and stickers.
The walls were turned into a shrine for the band, showcasing posters and photography from throughout their illustrious career.
And the crowds came through in a big way, queueing halfway down the street for a chance to be totally immersed in all things Pulp.
This pop-up will have a Pulp quiz, pop-up shop, fancy dress competition and even Pulp karaoke...sign us up.
So this Friday, 30 October, you can head down to support Pulp and the unveiling of their coveted star before heading to The Hallamshire Hotel all for their very own pop-up pub experience for a couple pints or two.
