Beauty brand Rituals has doubled the size of its store footprint at Manchester Arndale shopping centre.
The company has signed a 10-year lease on a 2,194 sq ft unit on New Cannon Street.
Annemarie Forsyth, managing director of Rituals Cosmetics (UK and Ireland), said: “We’re so excited to be relocating our store in Manchester Arndale which will be a larger size compared to the current store. Our consumers, who love and know the brand will be able to discover a greater variety of what Rituals has to offer to balance the body, mind or soul. The store will be filled with products designed to elevate and help you add something special to your everyday routine, and we can’t wait for you to visit us in our new location.”
Steve Gray, head of European retail asset management at Global Mutual, added: “It is great to see Rituals commit its long-term future to Manchester Arndale with a new larger store. It has proved to be a popular retailer with our shoppers and I’m sure their new store will attract even more when it opens later this year.
“The commitment of retailers such as Rituals highlights the belief they have in Manchester Arndale and is testament to our strong retail, leisure and F&B mix which allows us to attract visitors from across the North West and beyond. I look forward to sharing details of more new arrivals as we welcome further big name brands over the next few months.”
M&G Real Estate and Global Mutual act as 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 centre’s retained lease advisory agent.
