New tenant at Dewsbury Arcade: Stylish bags and accessories shop latest to open at historic centre
The Dewsbury Arcade has welcomed its latest trader into the historic Grade-II listed Victorian building.
Apple Blossom is a mother-and-daughter-run boutique bringing stylish bags and accessories to the shopping centre, which re-opened its famous doors on Saturday, September 5, after being closed since 2016.
The store, run by Amanda Mould and Anna Lee, will officially open its doors on Saturday, October 3, however, visitors might spot the duo in their shop beforehand as they get set up and soft-launch their new business, with shoppers warmly encouraged to pop in and say hello.
Amanda and Anna said: “At Apple Blossom, we believe style should be beautiful, affordable, and accessible to everyone. As a mother-and-daughter-run business, we're passionate about offering thoughtfully selected bags and accessories that combine everyday practicality with timeless style.
“Every piece is chosen with care, helping you express your unique style without stretching your budget.”
The arrival of Apple Blossom is just the first in a wave of new arrivals set to open in the coming weeks, including a traditional sweet shop, a jewellery shop, a fine-line tattoo artist, a professional make-up artist studio, an aesthetics studio, and a dedicated speech therapist.
The Arcade’s dedicated events and community rooms are also set to launch next month, bringing fresh cultural programming, workshops, and public gatherings to the town centre.
Jenny Holden-Stokes, Manager at The Arcade Dewsbury, added: “We are thrilled to welcome Apple Blossom to our growing Arcade family. Their dedication to quality, affordability, and personal service fits perfectly with our vision for an independent high street.
“With a historic local sweet shop, creative studios, specialist services, and our community rooms opening next month, The Arcade is truly coming alive.”
Further tenant announcements will be made by The Arcade in the coming weeks.
