Leeds White Rose (The Leeds Times) May 30, 2026 – The Supercuts hair salon at Leeds’ White Rose Shopping Centre will close its doors on Monday, June 1, 2026, as the brand relocates to Wakefield, according to official notice served by the shopping centre. The unit at Unit 100, Dewsbury Road, Leeds LS11 8LU will be replaced with another retailer following the closure.

Why Is Supercuts Leaving White Rose Centre?

As reported by the official Supercuts Facebook page for Leeds Live News, the salon is not shutting down permanently but moving locations:

“Supercuts in the Whiterose shopping centre is closing on the 2nd of June but the staff are moving to our supercuts branch in trinity walk Wakefield”.

The slight date discrepancy appears in social media posts, with one customer comment noting

“Supercuts is closing this month and moving to Wakefield as well”.

The relocation means all staff members from the White Rose location will transfer to the Trinity Walk Wakefield branch, ensuring no job losses from this development.

Where Is the New Supercuts Location in Wakefield?

The Supercuts salon is relocating to Trinity Walk shopping centre in Wakefield, located at Trinity Walk, Wakefield WF1 1QU, United Kingdom.

The Trinity Walk Wakefield salon operates with opening hours of Monday 09:00-17:30 and offers great value haircuts for women and men with walk-in service, requiring no appointment.

This represents a significant change for Leeds customers, as the new location is approximately 9 miles from the original White Rose Centre address.

How Will This Affect White Rose Shopping Centre Shoppers?

As reported by customer feedback on the Supercuts salon locator page,

“I am very saddened to hear the salon is closing and staff are being moved to Wakefield. I already travel from Bradford to Leeds whiterose. Wakefield is just”.

The comment suggests the Wakefield location is less convenient for some regular customers who previously travelled from surrounding areas including Bradford specifically for the White Rose Centre salon. Many shoppers have expressed they “will be sad to see it close” according to social media comments.

What Retail Changes Are Coming to White Rose Centre?

The shopping centre served official notice that the hair salon will be replaced with another retailer, though specific details about the incoming business have not been publicly announced.

This closure occurs amid broader retail changes at White Rose Centre, which welcomed two new brands in April 2024: CUPP (one of the UK’s fastest-growing boba tea brands) and Deichmann (Europe’s largest shoe retailer, which invested £688,000 in a new store creating 15 jobs).

The sports fashion brand JD Sports also announced a huge expansion at the centre during the same period.

When Did Supercuts Operate at White Rose Centre?

The Supercuts salon at White Rose Shopping Centre has been operating at Unit 100, Dewsbury Road, Leeds LS11 8LU for an extended period, as evidenced by its listing across multiple business directories and review platforms.

The salon’s operating hours were listed as closing at 9:00 PM on Thursdays and 7:00 PM on other days. The business maintains presence on multiple platforms including Yelp and Fresha, indicating established operations in the Leeds location.

What Services Did the White Rose Supercuts Offer?

“great value haircuts for women and men in the UK: just walk in, no appointment needed”.

Background of the Development

Supercuts is an international hair salon franchise with 119 locations across the UK as of January 2026. The company operates under a consistent business model emphasising walk-in convenience and affordable pricing across all locations.

Recent closure patterns show Supercuts has permanently closed some town centre locations, including Swindon’s central shopping hub in July 2025, where the unit was locked up with notices displayed at the entrance. However, the White Rose Centre closure differs as it represents relocation rather than permanent cessation.

White Rose Shopping Centre, located on Dewsbury Road in Leeds, West Yorkshire, remains one of the region’s major retail destinations, open 7 days a week with extended hours for restaurants and leisure facilities. The centre has undergone significant retail evolution since its construction, with historical analysis noting that

“when the White Rose Centre in Leeds was built people didn’t come into town as much”.

Recent developments include a £4.5m National Heritage Lottery Fund award for nearby Dewsbury Arcade to help rejuvenate town centre shopping, reflecting broader retail landscape changes.

Trinity Walk Wakefield provides approximately 560,000 sq ft of prime retail space in the heart of Wakefield city centre, situated above Sainsburys and accessible via the A61 Marsh Way main entrance.

The shopping centre hosts various events including “Star Walk,” Wakefield’s biggest cosplay experience, demonstrating active community engagement.

What Impact Will This Development Have on Leeds Customers and Local Community?

Leeds customers who previously relied on the White Rose Centre Supercuts will need to travel approximately 9 miles further to Wakefield for the same service, representing a significant inconvenience for those without easy access to Wakefield.

Customers travelling from Bradford specifically chose White Rose Centre for its central Leeds location, and the Wakefield alternative proves “just” less convenient according to customer feedback. The travel distance increases from Leeds city centre locations to Wakefield, potentially adding 20-30 minutes journey time depending on traffic conditions and transport method.

For White Rose Shopping Centre visitors, the loss removes one convenient hairdressing option within the shopping experience, though the centre continues operating 7 days a week with other retail and leisure options.

The replacement retailer may offer different services, but customers seeking specifically Supercuts’ walk-in haircut model will need to plan trips to Wakefield instead.

What Does This Mean for Local Employment?

The relocation ensures staff retention, as all employees from the White Rose Centre location will transfer to Trinity Walk Wakefield.

This represents positive job security for the salon team, though staff will face longer commutes if they previously lived closer to Leeds than Wakefield. The Trinity Walk Wakefield location maintains the same operational model with no appointment needed, suggesting consistent staffing requirements.

How Will This Affect White Rose Centre’s Retail Mix?

The closure continues a pattern of retail flux at White Rose Centre, where new retailers like Deichmann and CUPP have recently opened while others depart. The centre’s management will now seek a replacement retailer for the Unit 100 space, potentially changing the beauty and personal services offerings available to shoppers.

Given the centre’s recent investment in attracting major brands including JD Sports’ expansion and Deichmann’s £688,000 investment creating 15 jobs, the incoming retailer may represent another significant brand.

What Broader Retail Trends Does This Reflect?

This relocation aligns with broader UK retail patterns where chain stores consolidate locations or move between shopping centres based on footfall, rental costs, and regional performance. The Supercuts franchise maintains 119 UK locations, suggesting strategicRatherthan permanent withdrawals in most cases. The Swindon closure represents permanent cessation, contrasting with White Rose’s relocation model, indicating different strategic decisions based on local market conditions.
