The retailer had announced a range of opening day offers, including complimentary goodie bags for the first 50 customers to make a purchase.

Annemarie Forsyth, managing director of Rituals Cosmetics (UK and Ireland), previously said: “We look forward to welcoming the Bolton community into our new space.

“Our aim is to bring moments of calm and connection into everyday life.

“Thoughtfully curated, our bath, body, and home collections are crafted to support wellbeing and encourage mindful living, even during the busiest days.”

The standalone store spans 170 square metres and will stock the company’s full range of bath, body, and home products.

The opening follows the launch of a Rituals store at The Rock shopping centre in Bury earlier this year.

Before the planned opening, the company had advertised a number of jobs for the new shop, including management, supervisor, and sales advisor roles.

The Bolton News has contacted Rituals for comment on the revised opening date.
