Derbion adds toy store and bakery to line-up whilst bolstering health and beauty offering with Savers, Thérapie and Royal Oud

Derbion has announced the addition of five new retailers with independent toy store BarnDawg, bakery school Dew, and health and beauty specialists Savers, Thérapie and Royal Oud joining the line-up at the East Midlands’ premier retail and leisure destination.

Specialising in premium building brick sets, including a wide range of LEGO products, BarnDawg will occupy a 1,112 sq ft space after signing a 5-year lease.

BarnDawg’s new Derby store will cater for Derbion’s strong family shopper base providing gift sets for people of all ages perfect for special occasions.

Derbion is also set to welcome bakery school, Dew, after it signed a 5-year lease for a 1,340 sq ft unit.

Meanwhile, health and beauty favourite, Savers, has signed a 10-year lease for a 3,207 sq ft store which will include its range of health, beauty, household goods, medicines and fragrances from leading brands.

Alongside Savers, Thérapie has signed for a 2,004 sq ft clinic offering laser hair removal, cosmetic injections and advanced skin treatments.

Derbion has also announced the addition of fragrance specialist Royal Oud who have signed for a 655 sq ft sq ft space which will house its luxury perfumes, oud oils, and bakhoor.

The arrival of Savers, Thérapie and Royal Oud comes as health and beauty continues to thrive at Derbion with the sector becoming the centre’s biggest turnover category contributor.

In the past two years, five of Derbion’s health and beauty retailers have refitted or relocated, investing a combined £3.37m in their stores. At the same time Derbion recently welcomed Bodycare and Bath & Body Works who have both opened flagship spaces.

This continued investment by retailers at Derbion coincides with wider investment across Derby city centre which is set to attract more residents, businesses, and tourism to the city further growing the potential shopper base.

Beth McDonald, Managing Director at Derbion said: “The lettings to Savers, Thérapie and Royal Oud highlight the strong demand we are seeing from health and beauty retailers eager to take space or enhance their units at Derbion. With the recent arrival of Bodycare and Bath & Body Works we are cementing our reputation as the home of health and beauty in the East Midlands, and somewhere the leading brands want to be.

“Meanwhile, we expect to see BarnDawg and Dew become popular favourites amongst our shoppers, and we really look forward to welcoming them to Derbion as we continue to curate a diverse tenant mix which caters for people of all ages.”
