Debenhams closed all of its physical stores in May 2021 following administration. The Debenhams brand and website were acquired by Boohoo Group in January 2021, and debenhams.com now operates as an online-only fashion and beauty marketplace. No NHS discount or Blue Light Card deal is available through the current Debenhams website.
What happened to Debenhams?
Debenhams entered administration in April 2020 and again in December 2020, with all 124 remaining stores closing by May 2021. Boohoo Group acquired the Debenhams brand and digital assets in January 2021 for approximately £55 million. No stores, staff or physical infrastructure transferred as part of the deal. Debenhams now exists solely as an online marketplace operated by Boohoo, selling fashion, beauty and homeware from a range of third-party brands.
Does Debenhams offer an NHS discount?
No NHS discount or Blue Light Card partnership is in place at the current Debenhams website. The previous in-store and online NHS arrangements ended with the original company. Boohoo, which operates debenhams.com, does not run an NHS scheme through the Debenhams platform. For NHS savings on fashion and beauty, the Boohoo NHS discount page covers what is currently available through the Boohoo brand directly.
