The company has lodged a planning application to put up signage in its distinctive livery at unit B4B at the north Swindon shopping centre, opposite the library.
It’s the unit that had been vacated by Sports Direct, which announced it would be leaving in December 2024.
In January last year, Superdrug had put in essentially the same application.
In April, however, the company redirected its attention to opening a new branch in the Greenbridge Retail Park in east Swindon.

At the time a spokesperson said: “There won’t be a store at Orbital shopping centre at this moment in time.
“We are delighted to confirm that a new Superdrug store will be opening at Swindon Greenbridge Retail Park in the summer.”
Now the plan to move into the old JD Sports unit has been revived.

The company wants to move existing sliding automatic double doors from the centre of the shopfront to the left-hand side.
It also has asked for “the installation of a new pink LED lighting ‘goal post’ illumination feature to the front face of the shopfront glazing” as well as steel security shutters behind the glass.
