Construction of the store is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2021.
The project will cost around $6.4 million, located at 194 Peel Street, between the PCYC and the petrol station, opposite the skate park.
The development application was approved by Tamworth Regional Council in 2017.

It will be the second store the company has in town, with its Centrepoint store opening back in 2012.
