Discount retailer B&M has signed for a 30,000 sq ft store in the former Wilko unit at Manchester Arndale.
B&M will offer a comprehensive range of home goods, groceries, electronics and seasonal items at the store, which is due to open later this year.
Steve Gray, head of European retail asset management at Global Mutual, said: “We’re delighted to welcome such a strong household name like B&M to Manchester Arndale. We place great importance in having a truly mixed offer and its fantastic to be able to bring in a retailer that offers a wide array of products at accessible prices.
“From high-end fashion brands to discount retailers, its clear operators across the board have long-term confidence in the centre as Manchester Arndale continues to cement its reputation as the North West’s leading retail destination with a varied line up of exciting retail, F&B and leisure.”
M&G Real Estate and Global Mutual are joint asset managers of Manchester Arndale. Metis Real Estate and Time Retail Partners are the centre’s retained letting agents and Green & Partners is the retained lease advisory agent.
