The shopping centre teased the big news in an earlier post
A Northern Ireland shopping centre has teased customers that “something big” is on the way with the announcement of a new store.
Rushmere Shopping Centre confirmed on Instagram on Thursday April 2 that home furnishing retailer Dunelm will be “coming soon” to the complex. The popular brand will join major names already at the retail destination including H&M, River Island, DV8, Superdrug and Mango.
Earlier in the day, the centre sparked speculation with a post reading: “Something big is coming to Rushmere Shopping Complex. That’s all we’re saying, for now.”

Shoppers quickly began guessing which brand it could be, with suggestions including HMV, Sports Direct, Homesense and Hobbycraft. Some were on the money, correctly predicting Dunelm ahead of the official announcement.
Revealing the news at around 7pm, the centre posted: “Something big is coming to Rushmere Shopping Complex, and trust us, you’re going to love this one.
“Say hello to Dunelm. Get ready for beautifully styled spaces, cosy comforts, and everything you need to make your house feel like home.”
The announcement was made in a short video showing a woman walking through the centre’s car park before dropping a piece of paper, which another shopper picks up to reveal the news.
No opening date has yet been confirmed. The update was met with a positive reaction online, with one person commenting: “Its about time, it’ll do so well.”
Another joked: “Goodbye money.” A third responder added: “We cannot wait. Welcome to the neighbourhood.”
