With the venue new job roles will also be opening, including for a general Manager, Assistant Manager, Bar and Events Manager and many other job titles.

Lawrence Montgomery, managing director at Rough Trade, said: "We are excited to grow our UK presence with a store in Liverpool. The city has such a rich musical heritage as well as a vibrant scene right now which we hope to honour and represent in the best way we can.
