Dunelm's atria Watford store gets a target opening date

In May, Dunelm revealed it will be moving into the upper mall level of the former John Lewis atria Watford unit and has today (August 14) shared that the location is set to open on November 28.

The home furnishings retailer added that this is just the date it is working to currently and there is room for it to change.

Pictures from inside the unit were also revealed, showing it is still in the early stages.

It had previously been confirmed that the 33,000 square foot Watford store will have “pretty much everything” in Dunelm's range including made-to-measure services, although there won’t be a café.

The Watford Observer understands the rest of the former John Lewis unit will be filled by other separate stores which are yet to be announced.

A previous statement announcing the opening said: “The retailer’s sustainability credentials will be central to the new ranges, including many items from its Conscious Choice range, with products made from at least 50 per cent recycled materials, and a textile takeback fixture, allowing customers to return unwanted textile products to be purposefully recycled or redistributed.”
