About The Range Workington
The Range is preparing to open a major new Workington store at Dunmail Park Shopping Centre in October 2026. The development will occupy around 45,000 sq ft and will become one of the largest retail additions to the town in recent years.The new store will combine The Range's home, garden, leisure and everyday retail offer with a Homebase garden centre. The project is expected to create around 80 jobs and will take over space previously associated with the Dixon's home store at Dunmail Park.Opening in October 2026Dunmail Park owner J Dixon & Son confirmed in July 2026 that The Range is scheduled to open during October. An exact public opening day has not yet been announced, so Cumbria Guru is deliberately using October 2026 rather than publishing an unconfirmed date.The Terrace Café is returningAn important part of the project is the reopening of the Terrace Café.

Earlier planning reporting stated that The Range would operate the café, while the latest opening announcement confirms that the café will reopen as part of the new store development.The Terrace Café is a familiar Dunmail Park name rather than a newly invented café brand. The Food Standards Agency lists the premises at Dunmail Park Shopping Centre, Workington, CA14 1NQ. Historic visitor information describes the café as a substantial upper-floor food stop serving hot food, lighter café dishes, sandwiches and cakes.The Range operates Dee Dee's Family Café at selected stores elsewhere in the UK, but there is currently no authoritative confirmation that the Workington café will be renamed Dee Dee's. Cumbria Guru therefore keeps the confirmed Terrace Café identity until The Range publishes final store details.Homebase garden centreThe Workington store will also incorporate a Homebase garden centre. This reflects The Range's wider integration of Homebase-branded garden retail following its acquisition of parts of the Homebase business.The Range typically sells furniture, homewares, decorating supplies, DIY products, storage, lighting, arts and crafts, garden products, seasonal ranges, pet supplies and household essentials. The exact departments, services and opening offers available in Workington will only be clear once the local store page goes live.Dunmail Park locationDunmail Park is on Maryport Road on the northern side of Workington. The shopping centre already includes Asda, Parkway Cinema, Costa, Subway and other retail and leisure businesses, making The Range a significant new anchor for the site.The confirmed shopping-centre address is Dunmail Park Shopping Centre, Maryport Road, Workington, Cumbria, CA14 1NQ. Parking is available at Dunmail Park, but shoppers should always check the current signs, restrictions and any maximum-stay conditions when they arrive.No confirmed Workington store telephone number, final opening hours, Terrace Café hours or exact October launch day have yet been published by The Range. Cumbria Guru will update this page as soon as the store appears in The Range's official store finder or Dunmail Park announces the precise opening date.
Worth It
A major retail opening for Workington rather than a routine new shop. The 45,000 sq ft store, Homebase garden centre and return of the Terrace Café should make this one of Dunmail Park's biggest draws when it opens in October 2026.
