Space NK is coming to Centre:mk as it continues UK expansion

Beauty retailer Space NK is picking up the pace with its UK expansion, this time targeting Milton Keynes with a new store, which is opening in Centre:mk this November.

Located at Silbury Arcade, the 1,721 sq ft store will offer an expansive selection of makeup and skincare products. As well as an extensive assortment of beauty brands, from including Tatcha and Drunk Elephant to Rare Beauty and Kosas, each product category will be "easy and immersive to shop", in keeping with the retailer's most recent store designs. Of course, seasonal products will also be on offer, such as the coveted Space NK Beauty Advent Calendar.

Space NK’s renowned beauty loyalty scheme, NDULGE, will also provide the centre's customers with the opportunity to attend private brand events, sales and product reviews in-store, as well as benefit from a whole host of discounts.

The store will be fitted with a dedicated consultation area for makeup and skincare, along with a specialised treatment room. Customers can also take advantage of personalised beauty consultations and advice provided by professional beauty advisors.

Charlie Evans, Head of Retail at Space NK, said: "We are thrilled to announce the opening of our centre:mk Milton Keynes store. With a passionate beauty-loving community already in the area, we can’t wait to welcome you to our stunning new store.

"We chose Centre:mk as it’s the go-to shopping destination in Milton Keynes and nationally renowned as a regional shopping destination, offering a fantastic selection of brands that we’re excited to be joining. We look forward to becoming part of the vibrant Milton Keynes community and bringing our unique offerings to this iconic location."

Kevin Duffy, Centre:mk’s Centre Director, added: "The signing of Space NK marks another step in our commitment to offering best-in-class retail experiences. As Space NK’s latest strategic opening, it underscores Centre:mk’s reputation as a prime destination for top-tier brands. This addition further solidifies our status as a leading location for popular beauty and wellness retailers, as Space NK joins the likes of H Beauty, Boots, Rituals and L'Occitane."

Space NK is on a mission to strengthen its UK retail presence. This summer, it opened a store at Manchester's Trafford Centre, following the opening of a new flagship store at Manchester Arndale Shopping Centre, with both locations significantly strengthening the retailer's presence in the city.

Elsewhere in the UK, the business is opening a second store in Dundrum, Dublin, and a new location in Southhampton.
