SpaceNK reveals opening date for new store in Bluewater Shopping Centre
A popular beauty retailer has revealed the opening date for its new store as it returns to Bluewater after more than a decade.
SpaceNK will welcome customers to its first store launch of 2025 on April 17.
Earlier this year, the beauty giant announced it would be returning to the shopping centre, in Greenhite, after closing its previous branch in 2012.
Head of retail at Space NK, Charlie Evans, said: “We are excited to announce the opening of our new store, the 81st store in our portfolio, in Bluewater, a renowned hub for shopping and leisure.
“With its vibrant atmosphere and exceptional visitor experience, Bluewater is the ideal location for us to connect with even more customers and showcase our unique offerings in the heart of Kent.
“This opening marks an important step in expanding our presence in the region, and we are thrilled to become part of the dynamic Bluewater community”.
The 2760 sq ft store will be in the Lower Guildhall of the shopping centre, near Russell & Bromley, Hobbs and The White Company.
Centre Director at Bluewater, James Waugh, added: “At Bluewater, we pride ourselves on bringing world-class brands to Kent, and SpaceNK is a perfect fit for our retail lineup.
“As a leader in luxury beauty, their arrival enhances our already strong beauty and wellbeing offering, giving guests access to some of the most sought-after products in the market.
“Since we announced that SpaceNK would be joining us this year, our guests have been eager to know when the doors would be opening.
“We are pleased to be able to share the official launch date with our community today, allowing fans of the brand to plan their visits over the Easter bank holiday weekend.”
It comes after another beauty retailer, Sephora, opened at the shopping centre in November, with hundreds of people queuing to be the first customers inside.
SpaceNK offers more than 100 different skincare, makeup and haircare brands including Glossier, Charlotte Tilbury and Rare Beauty.
The chain also has branches in Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells and Tenterden.
