Debenhams have opened a new 93,000 square feet store at the Mander Centre in Wolverhampton. The store has created more than 150 new jobs. 

Director of group property at Debenhams, Rob Hadfield said: “Wolverhampton is one of the largest markets which does not currently have a Debenhams store. We are delighted to be finally opening in the city.

“This will be the second store to follow a new layout and customer journey following on from our Debenhams Redesigned strategy. Customers will find the store to be inviting and friendly along with new elements such as our new Loaf & Bloom restaurant offer.”

The new opening is part of a £35 million redevelopment of the Mander Centre by the owners Benson Elliot. 

Investment manager at Benson Elliot, Jonathan Ratnage said: “We are delighted to welcome Debenhams to the Mander Centre. The store’s opening and the redevelopment of the centre marks a significant and eagerly anticipated investment in the region’s second largest city.”
