Bath & Body works to make East Midlands debut at Derbion

Bed Bath & Body Works is set to open its first store in the East Midlands at the Derbion shopping centre in Derby.

The retailer has signed a 10-year lease for a 1,425 sq ft unit, and will offer a range of fragrances, skincare products, and home essentials.

The US-based retailer currently operates across 54 locations in the UK and Ireland, with 13 dedicated stores. The brand becomes the latest international retailer to arrive at Derbion following recent openings from FatFace, Victoria’s Secret, Castore, and Seasalt.

The announcement also follows confirmation that Primark will open at Derbion in 2027, alongside the recent arrivals of Wingstop and Boots Opticians and Hearing Care, alongside HMV’s expanded store which is set to open soon.

Beth McDonald, managing director at Derbion, said: “We’re delighted that Bath & Body Works will be joining the centre and we’re incredibly proud to have been selected as its first location for a dedicated store in the East Midlands. The decision is testament to the continued evolution of Derbion as we cement our position as the home of beauty in the region.

“The addition of Bath & Body Works, as well as the arrival of Primark and a raft of recent openings, demonstrates our ongoing commitment to delivering the very best retail and leisure experience for our shoppers, and we look forward to announcing further centre news soon.”
