Every Debenhams store in the UK closed its doors for good at the start of 2021 after a year of a drastic decline in profits. The department store brand was bought by the Boohoo group, but now there is news that Debenhams could be making a retune to the high street.

The Manchester Evening News reports that a job vacancy has appeared for a Debenhams Beauty Assistant in Manchester, stating “As a Beauty Assistant, you are an essential part of a team that delivers the extraordinary service our customers expect from Debenhams Beauty.”

While the salary nor the location have been disclosed, the advert for the vacancy continued: “As a Beauty Assistant, you are an essential part of a team that delivers the extraordinary service our customers expect from Debenhams Beauty.”

It added that candidates must be able to maintain the highest of retail standards, be always up to date with product knowledge, and roles include replenishing stock and customer service.

“An expert for all things Debenhams Beauty and the go-to person to help our customers, you are fully knowledgeable of everything about the store including the latest trends and services we offer.”

It has been suggested that the role could be located within the Arndale Shopping Centre in Manchester, across the street from the now-vacated Debenhams building that still displays the department store’s branding, and that the new stores could be the only one of its kind.

Boohoo moved all of its newly acquired Debenhams business online, but it was reported in June that some beauty brands refused to supply products to the department store brand unless it also had a physical store presence, which, it has been suggested, is the motivation for the new store.

Boohoo Group chief executive John Lyttle told the Times the firm would open one small Debenhams outside London, insisting it would be “one store and one store only”.
