Major high street retailer opening new Halifax branch
A well-known high street name is opening a new branch in Halifax town centre.
Health food and wellness store Holland & Barrett is set to open in The Woolshops, where Bodycare used to be.
Signage says the new store is “coming soon” and that in the meantime people can visit the retailer’s other branch, on Crown Street in Halifax town centre.
It is not yet known if the Crown Street branch will shut when The Woolshops branch opens.


Bodycare shut its Halifax town centre branch in September 2025, not long before Claire’s – which was in the premises next door – also closed.
Another health food retailer, Grape Tree, opened its first branch in Halifax’s Woolshops last year.
