A discount chain has announced its only Liverpool city centre store. For months now, the space in Clayton Square that previously homed Bodycare has been empty.<\/p>\n

The high-street beauty brand announced the closure of that particular store alongside 30 others across the UK<\/a> back in September. It came as the company collapsed into administration just a few weeks prior. At the time, administrators said, as a result of a shortage of stock and the cost of running high street shops meant it was no longer viable to keep all the remaining 115 stores open.<\/p>\n

It saw \u201ceverything must go\u201d posters being plastered<\/a> in the windows, with a countdown of days being changed as its end drew closer. Fast forward to now, and Bodycare is being replaced by another similar brand in the form of Savers.<\/p>\n

The store, owned by the same company as Superdrug, sells discount health, beauty, and household items.<\/p>\n

On the shelves, you will find everything from branded toiletries, cosmetics, skincare, haircare, fragrances, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and baby products.<\/p>\n

This will be the brand\u2019s only venture in the city centre. Posters currently up in the shop window, directly opposite Clayton Square Boots, tease “coming soon in the new year”.<\/p>\n

Savers can, however, already be found in Merseyside. It has venues in Birkenhead<\/a>, Wallasey<\/a>, Bootle<\/a> and Old Swan, to name a few. The ECHO will be bringing <\/a>you more on the store when possible.<\/p>\n

It’s now been 36 years since Clayton Square first opened in the city centre<\/a>, and with it brought a host of new stores to Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Since 1989, the shopping centre has seen some big changes, from how it looks to the businesses that have called it home.<\/p>\n

Through the years, we’ve seen huge brands such as Tammy Girl, Principles, Disney and Oasis open on site. When it first opened, Clayton Square\u2019s footfall was 7.8m and in its early days, the second level was home to a caf\u00e9, toilets and an internet cafe.<\/a><\/p>\n

But over the years we have seen some trends and shops, like many other shopping centres and areas through the UK, come and go.<\/p>\n

Its makeover, which began in 2014, transformed the centre into a single trading mall, with the removal of escalators opening it up.<\/p>\n

It is currently home to Boots, B&M, Clayton Nails and Spa and several other businesses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The brand will open the store in the new yearThe new store will be located inside Clayton Square(Image:…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":640405,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,393,4884,179,2349,246,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-640404","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-liverpool","12":"tag-liverpool-city-centre","13":"tag-shopping","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115741106443439214","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/640404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=640404"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/640404\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/640405"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=640404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=640404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=640404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
