Krispy Kreme joins line-up at Manchester Arndale
Doughnut specialist Krispy Kreme has opened a new 3,700 square foot shop at Manchester Arndale as part of its ongoing UK expansion strategy.
The new shop will be open seven days a week and stock all of the Krispy Kreme favourites, including the best-selling Original Glazed and a special exclusive limited edition Manchester Bee Doughnut. The store will also offer a click and collect service .
Krispy Kreme now has over 1,200 stores and outlets in the UK.
Colin Flinn, spokesperson for Manchester Arndale, said: “We are delighted that Krispy Kreme has opened its new shop at Manchester Arndale. Experiential retail is becoming increasingly important for centres like Manchester Arndale as retailers introduce new approaches aimed at encouraging shoppers to visit in-store as opposed to shopping online.”
The arrival of Krispy Kreme follows the opening of Slim Chickens, Kokoro, Tim Hortons and Pizza Luxe at Manchester Arndale over the past few months.
The centre has also grown its retail offering with the arrival of Sports Direct, Tommy Hilfiger and Kick Game, as well as new leisure operators Urban Playground and Roxy Ballroom.
Flinn added: “Two of our key retailers, Sports Direct and Superdrug, have recently opened larger spaces within the centre to upgrade their offers and create innovative and immersive environments which appeal to those who enjoy the hybrid approach of online and experiential in-store retail.
“We hope to announce further new lettings and leasing activity across the centre as we seek to maintain Manchester Arndale’s position as a premier retail and leisure destination in the UK.”
