Scarborough based family-owned department store group W Boyes & Co Ltd has announced that it has agreed terms to open a store on Frogmore Road.
The property was previously occupied by Wilko and has been empty since the business went into administration in 2023.
The new Boyes store will open on Friday, March 7 at 9am.
It will be the company's 80th store altogether and its first in Shropshire.
Boyes, which was founded in 1881, said it has "built a reputation" for selling a wide range of goods at bargain prices.
The store will sell a range of products through 'everyday essentials', fashion and footwear, household goods, craft and hobby items, electrical, DIY and leisure products and seasonal goods.
A spokesperson said: "Boyes are confident that the new store will bring something new and different to Market Drayton’s town centre and look forward to becoming an established part of the local shopping scene."
