TWO NEW high street stores are set to move into a former hardware store in a Bournemouth shopping park.

The former Robert Dyas store will be split into two different businesses at Castlepoint.

Kitchenware brand ProCook is set to open its second Dorset shop in one half of the Robert Dyas store.

Fragrance and cosmetics company Rituals will be occupying the second half of the former store.

ProCook and Rituals will take a split of the unit adjacent to TK Maxx and across from Boots and Superdrug.

The new openings are anticipated to be popular with shoppers and mark two firsts for Castlepoint with ProCook set to become the only dedicated kitchenware brand and Rituals selecting Castlepoint as its first Dorset location.

It has not yet been revealed when the stores will open. 

David Pickett, centre manager of Castlepoint, said: “It is fantastic to welcome our first dedicated kitchenware brand, ProCook to Castlepoint as we continue to ensure we provide choice to our shoppers.

“We know our customers want to see more big-name beauty brands and we are thrilled to announce that Rituals has selected Castlepoint as its first Bournemouth location”.

This comes after the news that Spanish fashion company, Mango will be making its Dorset debut in Castlepoint later this year.
