It follows a six-week refurbishment of a prominent High Street premises which was formerly occupied by The Fashion Parade and Bare Necessities. The building has a long retail history, having previously been home to G. Orme and Buxton & Bonnet, a where generations of Uttoxeter families previously bought school uniforms.
Now the historic store has been given a new lease of life, offering clothing, footwear and accessories for women and men, from leading brands including Holland Cooper, Barbour and Joules.
Henmores is part of the multi-award-winning Young Ideas Group, which operates five stores across Derbyshire and Staffordshire, including Young Ideas and Henmores in Ashbourne, Young Ideas in Lichfield and Henmores at Peak Village, near Bakewell.
The expansion to Uttoxeter is the brainchild of business owner Anne Wright, who bought the first store in Ashbourne in 2008. She is passionate about the future of Britain's market towns having been instrumental in helping revitalise Ashbourne town centre.
As Chair of Ashbourne Town Team and a director of Discover Ashbourne CIC, she has worked alongside businesses, community groups and local authorities to help reinvigorate the town centre, attract visitors and encourage people to shop locally. Now she wants to do exactly the same in Uttoxeter.
