Edinburgh Woollen Mill to open in Bedford's former BHS site

The Edinburgh Woollen Mill will fill the former BHS store in Bedford’s Midland Road.

The renowned British brand will open in two weeks’ time – on Friday, August 11.

The retailer – founded in 1946 – will celebrate its arrival with a whole host of giveaways. Staff will give the first 20 customers who make a purchase in-store an Edinburgh Woollen Mill goody bag – prizes will also be hidden in the store.

Nicola Feeney, area manager at the store, said: “We are excited to welcome visitors to our new store to explore our wonderful collections. It’s going to be a great addition to Bedford and the local retail mix.”
