Dunelm has opened a new superstore at the Flemingate centre in Beverley, East Yorkshire. The homewares retailer has become the retail and leisure destination’s new anchor operator after taking over a 41,000 sq ft former Debenhams department store.
Dunelm has taken a 10-year lease on the two-storey unit to bring its new multi-department superstore format to the centre.
The store’s departments include Made to Measure and Decorate & Co-ordinate, including Dunelm’s new range of own brand paints, as well as a Take Home Today furniture section.
The store also features a Dunelm’s own Pausa coffee shop, serving freshly-ground Arabica coffee and a range of sandwiches, cakes and treats.
Wykeland property director David Donkin said: “Dunelm taking over this unit, and in doing so becoming the new anchor tenant, is testament to the strength of the centre and the vitality of Beverley as a retail marketplace.
“Flemingate is now almost fully let, despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, meaning it offers greater choice, variety and an even better experience for customers than ever before.”
Store Manager Stuart Welburn said: “We’re really excited to open our new superstore and welcome so many happy shoppers.
“The store offers all the latest Dunelm concepts and new products and is a fantastic addition to the retail offer at Flemingate.
“We’re absolutely delighted to be here, providing customers will an exceptional shopping experience in this thriving location.”
