Harrods is celebrating the opening of H beauty Gateshead, the brand’s fifth standalone beauty store in the UK, located in the Metrocentre. The 30,203sq ft space brings together a diverse portfolio of beauty brands and has been designed as an ‘experiential playground’.
The latest addition to the H beauty portfolio reflects Harrods commitment to creating luxury shopping experiences to new communities across the UK. The Gateshead launch follows four successful store openings at: Lakeside retail centre in Essex; centre:mk in Milton Keynes; St James Quarter in Edinburgh; and Cribbs Causeway in Bristol.
Annalise Fard, director of beauty at Harrods, commented: “The launch of our fifth H beauty store in Gateshead, marks another incredible milestone for Harrods. The expansion of our stand-alone H beauty stores showcases our commitment to bringing elevated retail beauty shopping experiences to communities outside of London.”
Ben Cox of Sovereign Centros, senior asset manager for Metrocentre, added: “The regional debut of H beauty is a huge moment for Metrocentre. We’re delighted to offer the region a luxury retail experience in partnership with Harrods, providing a new flagship destination for all things beauty and featuring major global cosmetic brands.
“There are many exciting developments in the pipeline, and we are proud to be home to some of the very best in regional and national retail, hospitality, and leisure. This letting is a testament to the strength of Metrocentre and we look forward to welcoming our customers to H beauty.”
