Sandwich shop Pret a Manger is set to take over the premises of the former Jessops store in Gallowtree Gate.
The photography company ceased trading on January 11, closing stores across the country and axing more than 100 jobs in Leicester and Loughborough.
The firm had outlets in Gallowtree Gate Leicester and the Cattle Market, in Loughborough, as well as its head office in Braunstone Frith, Leicester.
It was thought that the city centre shop could reopen after Dragons Den star Peter Jones bought the brand following the collapse earlier this year.
However, London based company Pret a Manger yesterday confirmed that a new shop would be opening at the former Jessops site in the early summer.
Pret, which was launched in 1986, has about 295 stores worldwide, although most are in the UK, and turns over about £380million a year.
