The Hut Group has acquired 12,000 square feet of retail space at 100 King Street in Manchester for its health and beauty brands.

The group is planning a refurbishment that will be sympathetic to the listed building. This will include converting the former Jamie’s Italian restaurant area into a ‘World of THG’ retail and experiential space.

The Hut Group chief executive Matthew Moulding said it will offer a new and innovative way for customers to discover its brands. He added: “The Hut Group is continuously looking at original ways to deliver the most engaging retail and wellbeing experience.”
