Atria Watford shoppers will soon enjoy even more choice as a new clothes store is set to open within days.

Fashion chains Peacocks and Bonmarché will launch a 10,000 square foot combined shop in the lower mall on Thursday, June 13, at 9am.

The first 10 customers will receive a £50 “golden ticket” to spend in store on opening day, according to the hoarding.

Peacocks had a High Street branch until 2012, before the business was taken over by Edinburgh Woollen Mill. The unit then became Wilko, which closed last October and remains empty.

They will join Dunelm and Poundland in the former John lewis space, which was split into separate units of different sizes after the department store closed in 2021.

B&M has also been confirmed for 21,000 square foot space in the lower mall while the clothes and homeware outlet Choice Discount is also moving into a 5,000 square foot space in the lower level.
