A national retailer has returned to Northampton’s Grosvenor Shopping Centre after a hiatus, which last just over a year-and-a-half.

MenKind reopened its doors on the ground floor between the former Muffin Break and Bias in October, after closing the same unit in mid-January last year.

The gadget shop has signed a new 18-month lease at the shopping centre, according to the owners Evolve Estates. This lease will end in April 2026.
