Bodycare store will reopen in Bury – but not in Bolton
The high street beauty retailer collapsed into administration earlier in September and had not been able to secure a buyer for its chain of stores in the UK.
Administrators at advisory firm Interpath said this meant it had made the difficult decision to close them down.
Bury’s store, at the Mill Gate Shopping Centre, had been left off previous closure lists but shut in September 2025, with Bolton’s store, in Market Place, already closed.
Savers, another health and beauty retailer, returned to the Mill Gate in March this year and saw crowds of hundreds of shoppers turn up for its opening.
Bodycare’s previous Market Place store in Bolton remains unoccupied.
Bodycare was founded in 1970 in Lancashire and sold beauty products, fragrances and other bathroom items.
Its stores were based in shopping centres and high streets in towns and cities across the UK.
Now Bodycare has announced it will reopen in 17 locations, with 15 to open within the space of one year.
Bury’s Mill Gate is on the list, along with Blackburn and Warrington, but not Bolton.
The full list is as follows:
– Sheffield
– Leicester
– Derby
– Brierley Hill
– Bradford
– Blackburn
– Leeds
– Bury
– Livingston
– Sunderland
– Cwmbran
– Gateshead
– Glasgow
– Luton
– Warrington
– Northampton
– Wakefield
The retail company’s website states each store will have “its own in-store content creator studio” complete with good lighting that will be completely free to use.
The site states it is “a space to film, create, experiment, and finally make the content you’ve been dreaming about.”
Bodycare also promises it will continue to stock health and beauty essentials, along with K-beauty, fine fragrance and piercing studios.
