Harrods beauty store and champagne bar confirmed for MetroCentre

Harrods is set to open a beauty store in the MetroCentre next year, and both JD and H&M will move into bigger units.

Harrods H Beauty will open in a 30,000 square foot unit, which the luxury London-based department store has leased for 20 years.

Brands such as Gucci, Dolce and Gabbana will be stocked, and customers will be able to enjoy a drink at its champagne bar.

MetroCenre owner Sovereign Centros say the Harrods H Beauty store will open between April and June 2022.

Around the same time, fashion retailer H&M will move to bigger unit, which will include a home decor section, and JD Sports will move to a larger store in the Platinum Mall.

The new JD store is being created by combining four existing units currently occupied by Flannels, Game, HMV and Paperchase, who are being relocated to new stores within the centre.

Graeme Jones, of Sovereign Centros, the asset and development managers for the centre, said: “This is all very exciting.

"These lettings really reinforce how retail in these powerful major regional centres is changing, replacing the hitherto reliance on the old department store formats as anchors with new and exciting concepts and brands which will be much more interactive for the shopper.

"These quality fashion brands are a major draw for our customers. There is a lot more to come over the coming months with some other exciting lettings lined up."
