A new opening date has not been established yet, but customers should expect it to reopen in September. Waterstones told the Bournemouth Echo in a statement: “Our store will be closing on Sunday, July 7, but don’t worry, we are incredibly excited to say that we will be moving to a new location in Castlepoint in September. “We would like to thank you for your continued custom over the years.
“While we are away the team at Waterstones Bournemouth Arcade, or Ringwood are ready to welcome you for all your reading needs. “We cannot wait to open the doors to our beautiful new store and welcome you all back.” It is thought that Caffè Nero will also return to the new location.
