Sandersons team prepare for opening at north Sheffield’s new department store

19 August 2016

Sheffield’s newest department store opens its doors at Fox Valley next month and the team behind this unique new retail venture are preparing to bring a little bit of theatre back into retail.

The brand new Sandersons Boutique Department store will open on September 1st in a prime location just by the entrance to the new £50 million Fox Valley development in Stocksbridge, north Sheffield. 

The shopping centre’s first phase was officially opened by Joanna Lumley OBE in June and Sandersons' Managing Director Deborah Holmes is now looking forward to bringing a host of fantastic brands to the area in the centre’s second phase of store openings.

The new store has employed more than 20 members of staff and the Sandersons team are now training and merchandising ready for the Grand Golden Ticket Opening at 11am on Thursday September 1st.

The store will be managed by Lisa Fox alongside assistant manager Kara Chapman who are joined by an experienced team all focussed on delivering excellent customer service.  Beauty consultant and TV presenter Armand Beasley also joins the team as the store’s Beauty Ambassador.

Sheffield businesswoman Deborah Holmes, who is the Managing Director of the new Sandersons store, said: “We are delighted to be introducing our fantastic Sandersons team to the area, Lisa and Kara both have a wealth of retail knowledge and everyone at the store will be focussed on delivering the highest level of customer service.

“We want to create something really different here at Sandersons and our customers will hopefully see that in everything, from the interior design of the store to the little touches and extras services we have - as well as the lovely line up of fashion, beauty and homewares brands we have selected for the store.”

Sandersons has a great mix of must have brands including Ted Baker, Phase 8, White Stuff and Barbour along-side others which are new to north Sheffield such as In-Wear, Onjenu and Masai. 

They’ll also be joined by some great local products from Sheffield’s own British Silverware and The Sheffield Pewter Company, all making Sandersons a truly unique retail experience - the store also houses Blakes Tea Room at the first floor.

One of the most exciting and unique features of the new store is the involvement of the skincare expert, international make-up artist and presenter, Armand Beasley. Armand is Sandersons’ skincare and Beauty Ambassador and will ensure that everyone gets five-star treatment in the bespoke cosmetics department.

Armand has featured in magazines including Vogue and Grazia, on Channel 4's How to Look Good Naked, Channel 5’s Celebrity Super Spa and ITV’s This Morning.

The independent department store will open with a fantastic Golden Ticket event at 11am on 1st September, when the first 100 customers will receive a fabulous free gift and one lucky shopper will walk away with a £500 Sandersons Gift Card.

Also opening in the second phase of store openings at Fox Valley are Paperchase and M&Co. JoJo Maman Bebe will also be celebrating the launch of the company’s first South Yorkshire store with a visit from the company’s beautiful vintage van Eloise which will be visiting Fox Valley from September 1st – 3rd.

A special Family Fun Day hosted by Hallam FM will take place on Saturday September 3rd from 10am – 3pm to celebrate this next phase of stores opening.

The store can be found by the main entrance to the new Fox Valley development at Stocksbridge, north Sheffield. For more information visit www.foxvalleysheffield.co.uk
