Occupying a pivotal site in the town centre, Chesterfield Elder Way (Former Co-op Store) is a landmark mixed use scheme, breathing life into the town’s famous 1930s, Mock-Tudor former Co-op department store, being led by Jomast developments.

The 92 bed hotel Premier Inn on the first and second floors opened in April 2019. Further developments – led by Jomast – will include seven restaurants and a health and fitness centre. This investment will create 60 jobs and is a key part of the wider Northern Gateway scheme to regenerate this area of the town centre.
