🛍️It's finally official! 🛍️

👀Well, it looks like the rumours were true...

After what feels like forever of everyone asking whether Dunelm is coming to Tunbridge Wells, plans have now officially been submitted for a new Dunelm store with an in-store café at Fountains Retail Park.

The new store is planned for the unit next to the expanded M&S Foodhall, meaning you'll soon be able to combine a food shop with a browse for cushions you definitely don't need but somehow end up buying anyway.

The plans include a huge retail space spread across the ground floor and mezzanine level, making it one of the bigger additions to the North Farm retail scene.

Nothing is fully approved just yet, but these are the official plans now sitting with Tunbridge Wells Borough Council.

Personally, I'm already picturing a coffee in one hand and a trolley full of homeware "essentials" in the other.

Who else is excited about this one? 🤩
