New clothes shop opens in former John Lewis unit

Watford shoppers now have even more “choice” after a new clothes store launched in atria.

Choice Fashion & Home Outlet opened on Thursday (June 27) in the lower mall level, offering discounted clothing for men, women and children, as well as homeware items.

It is the latest business to occupy the former John Lewis unit which was divided up after the department store closed in 2020.

The shop follows the launch of Peacocks/Bonmarché in the neighbouring unit earlier last month, as well as Poundland and Dunelm last year.
