Overview
- Superdrug, which already runs more than 780 outlets in the UK and Ireland, will also refit 60 existing stores during 2026.
- Confirmed locations so far include Scotland’s Dundee Gallagher, Kilmarnock, East Kilbride, Strathkelvin and Linwood; England’s Leeds White Rose, Crawley, Waterlooville and Newport on the Isle of Wight; and Cwmbran in Wales.
- Many of the new branches will host Superdrug Beauty Studios providing ear piercing, manicures and eyebrow threading.
- Property director Clare Jennings cited strong demand for in‑person, experience‑led shopping as the rationale for focusing on larger, destination stores and retail parks.
- The rollout proceeds as a Which? referral over loyalty pricing remains with the Competition and Markets Authority, an issue not addressed in the expansion announcement.
