Footwear retailer Dune London is expanding its presence in the North West by taking a 1,596 square foot store at Manchester Arndale.
The shop will sell the brand’s range of casual and formal shoes, as well as handbags, clutches and leather goods.
The move marks a return to central Manchester for the brand. Other recent signings at Manchester Arndale include The North Face, Sunglasses Hut, Nike, and Oseyo.
Nigel Darwin, chief executive of Dune, said: “We are thrilled to be returning to Manchester Arndale with the opening of our new store. We know we have many fans of the Dune London brand and our fabulous shoes and bags in Manchester, and we’re excited to be part of this vibrant retail centre once again.”
Steve Gray, head of European retail asset management at Global Mutual, added: “Dune London’s arrival will cater to Manchester Arndale’s stylish clientele, and we’re delighted to welcome the brand to the centre.
“Our approach not only seeks to strengthen footfall but also drive demand for well-placed units, taking our retail occupancy close to 95%. Manchester Arndale’s strategic location and commitment to providing a unique shopping and dining experience continue to make it a magnet for brands seeking to expand their presence in the city.”
