Holland & Barrett is mulling European expansion as it opens its 700th store in the UK in Richmond
Chief executive Peter Aldis told Retail Week he is “always on the look-out” for an acquisition in Europe if a business that is a good fit becomes available.
Holland & Barrett has revealed a new store format in Richmond offering customers a more interactive shopping experience.
The health and beauty retailer’s new shop - its 700th in the UK - features a more open-plan layout than previous stores, as well as offering customers a more interactive experience, with food dispensers that can be handpicked by shoppers. Traditionally all products were pre-packaged.
The shop features a machine which dispenses freshly made peanut butter. A nut pick ‘n’ mix, a healthy sweet pick ‘n’ mix, jelly bean dispensers and oil and vinegar dispensers, all firsts for Holland & Barrett, are also available to customers.
