The retailer added that it has refreshed its gifting and toy brand mix for autumn/winter 2020 and has a number of new offers launching in time for peak trading over Christmas.
“We have thought hard about what will make shopping easier and more convenient for our customers and we want to make sure we offer a range that meets the needs of the whole family,” Debenhams managing director Steven Cook said.
“We already have a great childrenswear range from schoolwear to playtime, including our popular new Lola & Maverick range.
“That’s why we are delighted to be able to offer a really comprehensive range of toys across all our channels as we build up to a ‘giftastic’ Christmas at Debenhams.”

Feels as if they may be just filling space as other concessions leave and suppliers not confident in Debenhams.
That’s untrue they are launching options of popular, commercial brands, The Entertainer Menkind Debenhams have more than enough clothing concessions.
I work at Debenhams and customers love our store a do not want it to close.
They love staff and customer service we give so stop spouting rubbish to give us the chance to resolve this.
Anything that increases footfall is positive.
For retail in the high street to survive (post Covid 19) and even thrive entails a sea-change in the shopping experience. From simply competing on price with online to an actual customer focused service which cannot be replicated online.
