Superdrug to expand store by over a third at Dundee’s Overgate
Superdrug is set to expand its store presence at the Overgate Shopping Centre in Dundee by more than a third.
The health and beauty retailer will increase the size of its existing store by over 35%, from 7,125 sq ft to 9,739 sq, taking over the adjacent former Clintons store.
The store is due to open in October and feature a number of new offerings, including beauty studios, fragrance counters, and a nurse clinic with an enhanced pharmacy.
The expansion forms part of Superdrug’s major nationwide investment to modernise, refurbish and extend 65 of its strongest performing stores this year.
Malcolm Angus, centre manager at Overgate, said: “Once complete, the new store will offer a significantly elevated shopping experience for our customers. The introduction of new Beauty Studios, each offering a range of popular and affordable beauty treatments, is an exciting development, and the enhancement of Superdrug’s pharmacy with a new face-to-face private nurse clinic will bring a welcome personalised healthcare service.
“This commitment by Superdrug is a resounding vote of confidence in Overgate, and the future of bricks-and-mortar retail in Dundee city centre. There is no doubt this new store will prove highly popular with our customers when it opens in October.”
Clare Jennings, property director at Superdrug, added: “This store extension in Overgate, Dundee is a significant milestone in expanding Superdrug’s presence locally, allowing us to offer an even broader selection of products and services to our valued customers. By upgrading the store, we’re now able to offer a more modern shopping experience – featuring top health and beauty brands, a premium fragrance section, and our in-store Beauty Studio. This new extension allows us to support local employment in Overgate and the surrounding communities.”
Overgate Shopping Centre was acquired by Frasers Group in 2023. Spanning 440,000 sq ft, the scheme is anchored by FRASERS and is home to retailers including Sports Direct, Primark, Next, Mango, H&M, River Island, New Look, Footasylum, Office, Castore, Rituals, Pandora, Clarks, DV8, Holland & Barrett, and Boots.
