BARGAIN hunters will now be able to pick up discounted Next clothes and homeware straight from Bracknell as the countdown to Christmas begins.
As the News reported last week, the former Next store at The Peel Centre was spotted getting a makeover as new ‘Outlet’ signs were added to the recently-closed shop.
One shopper told the News the store is now open for business following its facelift.
This is confirmed by a listing on Next’s store locator, which shows Next Clearance’s opening times.

According to the site, the shop will be open from 9am to 8pm every day now it is up and running.
Sunday trading hours mean the store will be open from 10.30am to 4.30pm, however.

Next and Next Home closed down in September in line with the expiration of the retailer’s lease at the Skimped Hill shopping site.
The re-opening of the store comes as a planning application to change part of the store’s use was lodged.
A proposal to allocate 30 per cent of the sales area at Unit 4a of The Peel Centre — where Next used to stand — to allow the sale of food was submitted in late September.
Bracknell Forest Council has still not made a decision on the proposal, however.
Next’s store at The Lexicon still remains open.
