NEXT is launching a beauty department in its new Meadowhall store offering free goody bags to the first customers who spend over £40.

The fashion chain is launching the venture, next to womenswear, at 9am on Friday, April 28. The first 200 customers who spend £40 or more on ‘branded beauty and fragrance’ that day will receive the freebie, bosses say. It will also be given to the first 100 customers on Saturday and Sunday.

Next closed last summer for a giant revamp. It was due to re-open on October 21 but was delayed until December 3 after building work over-ran. It is situated at the end of the Gallery alongside Primark.
