Footasylum to open second women’s concept store
Footasylum is 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 curent 4,700 square foot store to 7,200 feet at the centre.
For the new Footasylum Women’s concept, the brand is taking a 2,700 square foot unit directly above the current Footasylum store for a standalone shop.
Manchester Arndale has also recently signed up Colette, the Australian handbag brand, for its first store outside of London and second in the UK. The brand will be taking a 2,200 square foot store.
Colin Flinn, regional managing director at Intu, 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.”
