We’re here to make health and wellness a way of life for everyone and look forward to welcoming the community of Bedford into our new store, where we’ll support them through their wellness journeys.”

This latest opening is part of Holland & Barrett’s ongoing investment in its retail stores, revitalising its store experience, through refits, relocations and opening new stores. H&B has invested c. £70 million in the transformation of its stores, technology and new product development including the opening and renovation of over 200 stores in the UK.

Throughout FY25 H&B is investing in at least one store a day in a store refresh and refurbishment programme across UK & Ireland.

Sustainability is at the heart of the new store, which has been refitted using mild steel, a 100 percent recyclable material, along with FSC certified wood. LED powered lighting has also been designed to be more efficient, reduce energy consumption and cut carbon emissions. Through H&B’s store transformation programme, recycled materials have been used where possible from old stores to minimise waste.

Highlights in the new store also include the new food range which has been crafted by H&B’s expert nutritionists and chefs and helps support wellness needs such as gut health and skin support. H&B’s new TriActive sports nutrition range can also be found in the store and comprises 16 new products, backed by science and designed to support performance, recovery and focus.

The store is located at Holland & Barrett, Unit F2, Interchange Retail Park, Race Meadows Way, Kempston, Bedford MK42 7AZ.
