With the centre now over 95% let, and brands like River Island and Thomas Sabo committing their future to the centre, we are confident in our ability to consistently deliver a premier retail experience.
“For shoppers looking to make the most out of their trip to Manchester Arndale, we also have an enticing food and beverage offer, with recent additions including popular choices like Tortilla, Krispy Kreme, and local favourites such as Bubble CiTea and Lazy Sundae. Manchester Arndale continues to uphold its reputation as the North West’s premier retail destination and we’re looking forward to announcing more exciting brands in the coming months.”
