Waterstones at Castlepoint opened to the public on Wednesday, October 9 after previously shutting to move to its new unit. The book shop was formerly located next to Superdrug but is now in the old Clintons store, next to Three and Clarks. Coffee lovers will be glad to know that Caffè Nero is also returning in the new site.

It was previously announced that international fashion retailer, Mango, would also be joining the retail park during the re-configuration. Mango will take over the former Waterstones store, with an opening date yet to be announced. A spokesperson for Mango previously said: “Mango, one of Europe’s leading fashion groups, continues its international expansion plan in the United Kingdom with its first store in Bournemouth.

“Specifically, in Castlepoint, one of the largest shopping parks in the country. “The new store, planned for late this year, will have a selling space of 500 m2 and stock products from the woman and kids lines.”.
