The UK beauty retail scene has been amplified in the past couple of years with the relaunch of Sephora and the opening of the Battersea Power Station shopping destination. Inevitably, this has left big names, including Space NK, battling to become the British consumer's first choice, seeking ways to evolve into the best version of themselves. Back in June, Boots announced the closure of over 300 of its doors across the UK as part of a transformation plan that would "rejuvenate" the brand, with the "ambition of consistently delivering an excellent and reliable service in a fresh and up-to-date environment." Now, in its first opening since the closures, Boots has announced its debut beauty-only store, which will be located at Battersea Power Station.The beauty playground will spread across 11,200 sq ft and is set to be stocked with over 250 cosmetic, skincare, and haircare brands, including several new UK-exclusive brands and ranges from "diverse and female-owned brands," of which names are set to be announced through behind-the-scenes content in the retailer's newsletter. These new name brands will be available online from the day of the store opening (which is not yet confirmed), with shoppers across the UK able to access them through next-day delivery and Click and Collect services at over 1,600 stores.Boots Beauty will join Space NK, L'Occitane, Rituals, The Body Shop, Aesop, Le Labo, Jo Malone, Kiehl's, and MAC Cosmetics, who have been up and successfully running at Battersea Power Station since its opening back in the latter end of 2022.
