The Perfume Shop Set to Expand at the Alhambra
The Perfume Shop has signed a new 5-year lease with Barnsley Council, securing their future in the Alhambra Shopping Centre in Barnsley town centre.
The plans will see the store relocate from its current kiosk in the entrance of the shopping centre to a larger unit, situated next to Eurochange and Three. This move comes in time for The Perfume Shop's 20th anniversary of trading in the Alhambra next year.
Work has already begun to fit out their new 1,206 sq ft unit, which is set to open its doors later this month. Part of the AS Watson Group, The Perfume Shop retails in over 210 stores across the UK and Ireland.
Cabinet Spokesperson for Regeneration and Culture, Cllr Robin Franklin said: “It’s fantastic news that The Perfume Shop will remain part of the Alhambra Shopping Centre’s future and in an even bigger store!
“This is an exciting time for Alhambra with our Health on the High Street plans progressing quickly to redevelop the centre and with the NHS due to open its outpatient services in Autumn. Our vision for the Alhambra Shopping Centre is to provide residents with enhanced access to convenient health and well-being services, while continuing to deliver the excellent retail offer which the Alhambra is loved for.
“With even more businesses preparing to launch in the coming months and continued investment planned for the town centre, Barnsley is continuing to establish itself as a leading destination for both businesses and visitors.”
Michelle, Store Manager at The Perfume Shop said: "It’s fantastic to see our Barnsley store refreshed and ready to welcome customers back.
“We are proud to have traded in The Alhambra for nearly 20 years, and we are excited to show off the new look and continue offering the expert advice and personal touches we know our shoppers love. With updated features and services, we’re looking forward to helping even more customers discover their perfect scent and enjoy a great experience every time they visit.”
This move is part of the groundbreaking Health on the High Street project in the Alhambra Centre which is set to deliver a state-of-the-art health and wellbeing hub. The new health and wellbeing hub will host a range of services, including some Barnsley Hospital outpatient services, a gym and wellbeing centre provided by BPL and mental health services through SWYPFT.
Enabled by SYMCA gainshare funding, partner investment and additional funds from other sources, including our Future High Street Fund allocation, our new health and wellbeing hub in the Alhambra Centre is set to be fully operational in 2028.
Health on the High Street is just one of the high-profile projects and investments we’re delivering to continue Barnsley's growth, which are attracting national and international recognition.
These projects all form part of our vision for Barnsley as the place of possibilities and will help us secure a bright future for our borough and our communities, including our young people.
