“After 20 years in our current store we think it’s time to open a bigger and better flagship Rebel store.
“We will be looking to hopefully be open at the end of 2021.
“We will be releasing further information in next couple of weeks.”
There are plans to convert the vacant first, second and third floors of the prominent Tudor-style building into apartments.

Hide AdPhilip Riden, chair of Chesterfield District Society, said: “We strongly support the proposal to restore the ground floor of the building to retail use, and the creation of studio and one-bedroom flats above.
"This will increase the supply of reasonably priced accommodation in the town centre and bring another building back into residential use, a policy which we consider highly desirable.”
It remains to be seen what the future holds for the Burlington Street unit after Rebel Menswear relocates.
Last year, it emerged Burlington House had been bought for a seven-figure sum by ALB Group, which has submitted a planning application to turn the two largely vacant upper floors into 40 apartments.
The application is yet to be determined.
