Two new independents to open at Peak Village

Two Derbyshire-based independent businesses are set to open new stores at Peak Village, part of the Devonshire Group.

Henmores, an Ashbourne-based premium lifestyle and country clothing and footwear retailer, has taken a 2,300 sq ft unit at Peak Village, which will open in October.

The business is part of Young Ideas Group, a Derbyshire portfolio of four retail businesses that was established in 1968. It specialises in quality craftsmanship, classic design and functional style, and stocks brands including Barbour, Gant, Holland Cooper, Fairfax & Favor, Joules, RM Williams, Seasalt and White Stuff.

Local independent business, Baxter & Co is set to open its first permanent store at Peak Village this September. With a focus on relaxation and an eco-conscious ethos, Baxter & Co will offer customers a mix of furniture, lighting, homeware, garden accessories, unique pieces and capsule clothing for both women and men.

The arrival of Henmores and Baxter & Co is the latest phase in the development of the retail and leisure outlets at Peak Village, providing greater choice for customers, increasing employment opportunities, and supporting the growth of local businesses.

Katayune Jacquin, centre manager at Peak Village, said: “We’re proud to welcome Henmores and Baxter & Co, two entrepreneurial businesses driven by creativity and quality, to our community at Peak Village. As the centre continues to evolve, we continue to look for opportunities to engage with other independent businesses looking to take their next step and expand their offering.”
