It will also function as an information point on the services the hospice provides.
Karen Bilsby, head of retail for Rainbows, said: “We want the shop to reflect the hospice as a welcoming, fun and vibrant place for families and children.”
A second Rainbows shop will open in Blaby in August and Matlock, Derbyshire in September.
