Clothing and homeware giant to revamp store

Fashion and homeware retailer NEXT has announced plans to significantly invest in its store at the Derbion shopping centre.

The firm is planning a number of physical changes to enhance its offer for shoppers, including a brand-new entrance, all-new interior features and lighting, as well as the arrival of premium lifestyle care products from Bath and Body Works.

It will also become one of the first NEXT stores in the UK to offer free one-to-one personal styling sessions, to help shoppers discover clothes and accessories that are perfect for special occasions, as well as seasonal wardrobe staples.

Work on the new and improved store will begin in June, with the improvements set to be completed by mid-August.

The announcement follows a string of investments from retailers at Derbion, including River Island, The Body Shop, Toy Planet, Superdrug and H. Samuel, who have all recently refreshed their space within the centre.

Adam Tamsett, general manager at Derbion, said: “NEXT has always been a big hit with our visitors, so we’re delighted that they’re investing in a refreshed store for shoppers to enjoy.

“We’re confident that the arrival of the Bath and Body Works will also be exceptionally popular with visitors once they open in-store this summer.”
