Footasylum to open second women’s concept store in Manchester

Footasylum is set to open a second women’s concept store in the UK on New Cannon Street at Manchester Arndale. Intu and M&G Real Estate said the company is also upsizing its current 4,700 square foot store to 7,200 feet at the centre.

Manchester Arndale has also signed up Colette, the Australian handbag brand, for its first store outside of London and its second in the UK. The brand will be taking a 2,200 square foot store.

Regional managing director at Intu, Colin Flinn said: “The fact that Colette has chosen Manchester Arndale for its first store outside of London and Footasylum will be locating its new women’s concept at the centre is clear evidence that Manchester Arndale remains one of the top trading locations for international brands entering the UK market and established brands looking to launch exciting new offers.”
