Harvey Norman opens flagship store at Merry Hill in English debut
Merry Hill has welcomed Harvey Norman, the global lifestyle, technology, and home appliance retailer, which opened its flagship and first-ever store in England today (11th October). With over 300 stores in eight countries across the globe, and offering an extensive range of products designed to enhance the home, Harvey Norman Merry Hill bolsters the destination’s reputation as being a hub for well-renowned, international brands.
In recent years the top 10 UK retail destination has gone from strength to strength, seeing new commitments from over 100 brands and this opening marks another significant milestone in the lead up to Christmas. The new store features dedicated areas for each product category, including a cooking appliance centre that has been specifically designed for Merry Hill’s visitors, and a range of in-store services including click & collect and Love Tech, for all your technology set-up needs.
Known as the home of big brands visitors can also choose from a variety of home appliances, technology, and entertainment from well-known names such as Dyson, Shark, Apple, Samsung, LG, Miele, Sage, and many more. Harvey Norman’s range also includes a selection of luxury furniture, from sofas and dining sets to bedroom suites, mattresses, and an assortment of smaller items including kitchenware. The new store takes a significant portion of the former Debenhams space on the Lower Mall, offering a store experience unique to Merry Hill, including a stunning entrance atrium. It will be joined later this month, by German-born experience and community driven fitness operator, XF Gym who will offer premium fitness at an accessible price point and can be found in the same area of the centre, on the Upper Mall.
The opening comes as well-known brands continue to join Merry Hill and invest in their stores at the centre, including British performance sportswear brand, Castore, which opened its doors on Thursday 3rd October, near Lush on the Lower Mall. Meanwhile, Pandora completed its store refresh in September which highlights its use of 100% recycled gold and silver, while Waterstones has confirmed significant investment in a refurbishment of its two-floor bookshop at the centre. Jonathan Poole, Centre Manager at Merry Hill, said: “We’ve eagerly awaited the arrival of global home, lifestyle and technology retailer, Harvey Norman.
They truly offer something for everyone, bringing a wide range of homewares, furniture and appliances in an exceptional store environment for our visitors to enjoy. Merry Hill now has the store you need to find those big, important purchases for your home with confidence. And with thousands of free parking spaces at our front door it makes it effortless too.
“The opening of this retail giant comes at an exciting time for the centre, and it takes Merry Hill to the next level as we continue to evolve, so our visitors can enjoy everything they need in one destination, under one roof.
“The Harvey Norman team has got some exciting plans for the new store in the coming months, which we hope to share soon.” Lachlan Roach, Managing Director of Harvey Norman UK, added: “With over 300 stores in eight countries across the globe, it will be no surprise that we have been wanting to make our entrance to the English market for a while. The opportunity we had to open in a key national destination like Merry Hill was not one to miss, and it makes for the perfect home for our flagship location.
“We’re a customer-centric brand, and Merry Hill has a vibrant community, so we are thrilled to bring both our extensive range of lifestyle, technology, and entertainment products and the exceptional service that Harvey Norman is renowned for worldwide.”
