The new River Island store at the Orbital Shopping Park will open early in the new year.

Situated between M&S and Lidl, the fashion chain's North Swindon branch was revealed back in January. It is set to open on February 6. 

Work is still ongoing at the site but a board outsider eveals the planned opening date.

There is already a River Island store in the town centre, but its lease finishes at the end of this month. 

The Adver has approached River Island for comment on the future of the town centre store but is yet to receive a response.
