The retailing giant, formerly known as British Home Stores and which has been a household name for the past 70 years, has purchased the former Littlewoods store in the Octagon.
Since Littlewoods was taken over by Primark, behind the scenes decisions have been made about the future of all the Littlewoods stores. Some are being converted into Primark shops and some are being sold.
The new Bhs store will open on October 22. The future of Littlewoods staff is still uncertain.
