Early start on Debenhams

A new Debenhams store is now set to open earlier than expected on September 25 and will create 59 new jobs in Kidderminster.

It has been developed in the historic Slingfield Mill on the £73 million Weavers Wharf Retail Park and will cover 23,000 sq ft of the grade II listed building.

Theresa Furnish, who will manage the new store, has worked for Debenhams for 12 years. Planned opening times are Monday to Wednesday and Friday 9am-6pm, Thursday 9am-8pm, Saturday 9am-6pm, and Sunday 10.30am-4.30pm.
