The store will span 30,557 sq ft in total (just under half a football pitch), across the three floors.

Next previously merged its atria stores to have its home, beauty, and fashion offerings under one roof in the former Debenhams unit.

When the new store was announced, a TK Maxx spokesperson said: “We chose Watford as our European home almost 30 years ago, so we know the town’s savvy shoppers love big brands and great style.

“We’ve been working round the clock to secure a fabulous new location in the heart of the town.”
