Harvey Norman’s Merry Hill flagship store is now OPEN! 11 October 2024

IT’S HERE: Harvey Norman has opened the doors to its Merry Hill flagship store, with the brand making its national debut at our centre!

The global lifestyle, technology and home appliance retailer is not only a new name for the centre; it’s also the first EVER store in England! Founded in Australia, Harvey Norman now has over 300 stores in eight countries across the globe.

Harvey Norman is known as the home of big brands, including Samsung, Apple, Dyson, Smeg, Miele and many more. The store also offers luxury furniture, from sofas to bedroom suites and mattresses, and features dedicated areas for each product category.

This includes a cooking appliance centre specifically designed for Merry Hill shoppers, and in-store services e.g. click & collect and LoveTech, for all your technology set-up needs.

Expect a store experience like no other, unique to both Merry Hill and the UK (their store is modelled on their Singapore flagship)! Taking over the former Debenhams unit, Harvey Norman will be joined by XF Gym this month, a German-born experience and community driven fitness operator, bringing premium fitness at an accessible price point.

Other brands also investing in Merry Hill at this time include British performance sportswear brand Castore, who opened their doors on Thursday 3rd October, Pandora, who unveiled their amazing transformation in September, and Waterstones, that has seen their two-floor bookshop undergo a huge change.

Jonathan Poole, Centre Manager at Merry Hill, said: “We’ve eagerly awaited the arrival of home, lifestyle and technology retailer, Harvey Norman. They truly offer something for everyone, bringing a wide range of homewares, furniture and appliances in an exceptional store environment for our visitors to enjoy.

“The opening of this retail giant comes at an exciting time for the centre, and it takes Merry Hill to the next level as we continue to evolve, so our visitors can enjoy everything they need under one roof, alongside a destination for eating, drinking and relaxing.

“The Harvey Norman team has got some exciting plans for the new store in the coming months, which we hope to share soon.”

Lachlan Roach, Managing Director of Harvey Norman UK, added: “With over 300 stores in eight countries across the globe, it will be no surprise that we have been wanting to make our entrance to the English market for a while. The opportunity we had to open in a key national destination like Merry Hill was not one to miss, and it makes for the perfect home for our flagship location.

“We’re a customer-centric brand, and Merry Hill has a vibrant community, so we are thrilled to bring both our extensive range of lifestyle, technology, and entertainment products and the exceptional service that Harvey Norman is renowned for worldwide.”
