SPORTS Direct will open its new store at the Tollgate Centre, Stanway, on Saturday with the creation of 44 jobs.
Sportswear, footwear and sports equipment will be sold at the 17,000 sq ft store, which will replace its existing outlet in Head Street, Colchester.
A spokesman was unable to confirm when that store would be closing and if staff would be offered jobs at the Tollgate store.
