Dunelm to open in Mell Square before Christmas

A new Dunelm store will be opening in the former BHS premises in Solihull’s Mell Square.

The nation’s leading home furnishings retailer has signed a lease with IM Properties, the owners of Mell Square. Their shop fit out works started on Monday 17th October – with the store set to open in time for Christmas.

The location is stated to have been chosen by the popular retailer because of ‘the strength of the town and quality shopping and leisure experience at Mell Square’.

Dunelm will be open seven days a week and will feature an extensive range of products, all displayed in a new home-from-home format across the two storey 42,888 sq ft store.

The shop will stock leading names in homeware such as Dorma and Fogarty, as well as Dunelm’s own brands.

Dunelm’s Made-to-Measure bespoke window dressing services will also be available – where you can choose from more than 4,000 fabrics for blinds, curtains and accessories.

Goods include more than 130 bed linen designs, 400 lights, 400 wall art and mirror designs, 500 filled cushions and covers, 100 curtains, 90 rug designs and 600 fabrics.

Rob Hemus, Asset Manager for IM Properties, owners of Mell Square Shopping Centre, said: “We are delighted to announce the opening of the new Dunelm store, it is a great addition to our already strong homeware offer and will provide even more choice for Solihull shoppers.

“We look forward to welcoming the local community to come and celebrate the new opening. BHS closures have hit right across the country but it’s great to see another retailer step into their place so swiftly in Solihull and create new employment opportunities, whilst providing our customers with such a great range of homeware and soft furnishings.”

Steve Barton, Dunelm Property Director, commented: “We have an exciting launch planned and we hope the Solihull community will join us to celebrate.

“The new store will bring all of our latest concepts together and we are looking forward to welcoming both new and existing customers in Solihull to the Dunelm brand”
