CASTLEPOINT shopping centre’s newest store has opened its doors for the first time on Wednesday. 

Holland & Barrett, a health and awareness store, has officially opened one of its largest category outlets in the UK in Bournemouth’s Castlepoint. 

Known for selling beauty products, food, vitamins, minerals and supplements, Holland & Barrett has signed a six-year lease to stay in the shopping centre in the former Mountain Warehouse shop. 

A spokesperson for Holland & Barrett said: “We are delighted to be joining the line up at Castlepoint; offering the perfect catchment as well as two supermarkets and a strong line up of tenants to help drive regular footfall, we are confident in our decision to invest here.”

The new store features a consultation room which allows customers to speak with a qualified-to-advise associate to seek advice on their wellness. 

Kannika Mall, of Castlepoint, added: “We are seeing customers from wider communities willing to travel to access sites like Castlepoint, which allows operators to offer their full ranges, prompting interest from international and more varied retailers. With this in mind, we look forward to further exciting opportunities in 2023.” 

We asked Holland & Barrett if they plan to close any stores in Bournemouth following the announcement but have had no response.
