Home furnishings retailer Dunelm has announced a proposed opening date for its new store in Watford.

Back in May this year, Dunelm confirmed plans to open in the former John Lewis store within Atria Watford, which will feature a retail space of 33,000sqft.

Now, the retailer has revealed that the official opening date is set for 28 November 2023, although this is just a target date and could change depending on progress.

Dunelm is currently refurbishing the site with the new store to feature a range of products, including bedding, outdoor living, home accessories, made-to-measure, haberdashery, kitchen and dining.

Andrew Hamilton, Dunelm director of store experience, previously said: “We’re delighted to have found a new home for our latest Dunelm store in Atria Watford, which provides us with an ideal location to serve the local community, bringing to them a huge range of homewares that is an unbeatable combination of quality and value.”
