FURTHER details of a brand-new beauty store which is being built inside the former Debenhams at Intu Metrocentre have been revealed - including the grand opening date.
Next, which already has a two-storey site within the shopping centre, first announced it would take over the former Debenhams site in August, this year.
At the time, the retailer said the brand-new store would open with a focus on Beauty, Home and Women’s fashion lifestyle - although a date was not confirmed.

But now Next has confirmed further details of what shoppers can expect and that the store will finally open on Friday, October 9.
Simon Wolfson, Chief Executive of Next, said: “This is an exciting opportunity to work with existing and new beauty brand partners to create a new force in beauty retailing-bringing our online business to life through premium store environments in some of the UK’s most important retail locations.”
The new Gateshead store will stock hundreds of brands including Chanel, Elizabeth Arden, Dermalogica, Bare Minerals, Benefit, Clarins and Clinique.
It will also offer a range of premium beauty services to customers with a number of treatments expected to launch in coming days.
