Homesense, the popular homeware brand at Merry Hill shopping centre near Birmingham, has announced it will close its doors in early 2027. The store, known for its quirky decorations, furniture, and luxury kitchen products, will be missed by many shoppers.
Official Confirmation
Homesense confirmed to BirminghamLive that the closure is scheduled for early 2027, but emphasized that there is no immediate change for customers. A spokesperson stated: "We regularly review our store portfolio to ensure our formats and locations continue to meet customer needs and support the long-term health of the business. Those reviews can result in different outcomes, including stores closing, transitioning to superstores, or continuing in their current format."
Reassurance for Customers
The company reassured shoppers that the store is currently open and "continues to be exciting, and as fully packed with merchandise, as ever." The spokesperson added: "We have decided to close our Merry Hill Homesense store in early 2027. But for now there is no change for our customers. We want to reassure our shoppers that our store continues to be exciting, and as fully packed with merchandise, as ever, and we continue to be fully committed to our customers."
Support for Employees
Homesense also highlighted its commitment to staff during the transition. The spokesperson said: "Our priority throughout this process is our people. We do everything we can to keep associates in the business, and where possible offer opportunities in nearby TK Maxx or Homesense stores. Our focus is on supporting our teams through this change and ensuring associates are treated with care and respect throughout the process."
The closure comes as part of a broader review of the company's store portfolio. Homesense operates several locations across the UK, and the Merry Hill store has been a key destination for homeware enthusiasts in the West Midlands.
