Joe & The Juice has signed for a new 2,685 sq ft store at Manchester Arndale.
The company has taken the former EE unit on Cross Street on a 10-year lease. The letting will see the company return to the city centre after its previous location in Debenhams closed following the collapse of the department store chain.
Scott Linard, portfolio manager for M&G Real Estate, said: “It is great to welcome Joe & The Juice back to Manchester city centre. They have built a brand which has become synonymous with meeting spots across UK towns and cities, so we expect them to thrive at Manchester Arndale thanks to our close proximity to city centre businesses and students keen to catch up over a bite to eat. Joe & The Juice adds to our already strong F&B mix as we strive to create a full day out experience for visitors to Manchester Arndale.”
Steve Gray, head of European retail asset management at Global Mutual, added: “Joe & The Juice selecting Manchester Arndale for its city centre return highlights the continued demand we are seeing from international F&B and retail brands for space at the centre. Having a mix of established and growing brands helps to ensure Manchester Arndale continues to be an attractive destination for visitors and allows us to draw in shoppers from across the North West.”
M&G Real Estate and Global Mutual are joint asset managers of Manchester Arndale and New Cathedral Street. Metis Real Estate and Time Retail Partners are the centre’s retained letting agents and Green & Partners is the retained lease advisory agent.
