SUPERDRUG REINFORCES COMMITMENT TO BRICKS AND MORTAR RETAIL WITH 30 NEW STORES IN 2026
It’s not all doom and gloom within the beauty and retail industry.
Today, the leading accessible health and beauty retailer, Superdrug, has announced it’s plans to open 30 best-in-class, new stores within 2026.
Extending it’s geographical footprint across the UK.
Of course, this is positive news, allowing access for people to easily reach a store, local to them with the expansion also providing the below.
What Will The Superdrug Expansion Do?
Create approximately 600 new jobs.
Investment in bricks and mortar – retail.
Focusing on customer demand, for an experience-led retail store.
Fantastic for local economies, the expansion will create 600 new jobs and help to reinforce Superdrug’s continuing investment for bricks and mortar retail.
For a lot of people, including us at CosmoLuxe Magazine, we love the physical retail experience.
There’s nothing quite like browsing through products and make-up in-person, seeing the products and testing items, before you purchase – especially with colours and shades.
The Superdrug Strategy
Part of the ongoing strategy for Superdrug is to elevate the discover and engagement within the health and beauty industry.
Superdrug will be investing large-format destinations, stores and within retail-park locations across the UK allowing for easy access.

Comments From Superdrug.
Clare Jennings, Superdrug’s Property Director, commented: “Superdrug continues to see strong demand for physical, experience-led retail, and our 2026 store opening programme is a clear vote of confidence in UK bricks and mortar retail. By opening 30 stores, we’re not just increasing our footprint, we’re creating destinations that bring together beauty, healthcare and affordable treatments under one roof.
“Our customers want more than convenience, they want expertise, products and services they can trust, delivered in welcoming spaces within their local communities. This investment allows us to bring bigger, better Superdrug stores to more locations across the UK, unlocking more access to healthcare, beauty products and treatments, while creating hundreds of new jobs and long-term career opportunities for our colleagues.”
At CosmoLuxe Magazine, we love seeing the combination of bricks and mortar retail with online.
This allows customers to be able to shop online but also visit their local stores to see products in person.
Not forgetting the options such as pharmacy access and enabling a much better experience within their stores, across the UK, at any time.
Superdrug currently has over 780 stores in the UK and Ireland and continues to deliver and provide the best accessible beauty and health with trending beauty brands and personal care – not forgetting their own-brand.
