The new flagship store is located on the ground floor of Bruntwood Works’ Afflecks building in Manchester’s Northern Quarter.
Fred Perry’s previous shop in the city was previously situated on Police Street, but now the brand has moved to a larger space that occupies a 2,820sq ft space in a double corner unit on the junction of Oldham Street and Church Street, in the city’s iconic Northern Quarter.
The Northern Quarter has undergone somewhat of a revival as a key destination for lifestyle and fashion retailers recently, attracting a range of independent boutiques and established brands such as Ace and Tate and Carharrt.
Richard Gilmore, Managing Director at Fred Perry, commented: “We’re delighted to be moving to the Northern Quarter. The area has no shortage of strong associations with ground-breaking music and subcultural style – something we continue to champion. Our retail spaces aren’t just shops, and we’re looking forward to sharing what we do with the Manchester community as part of an exciting continuation of Fred Perry and Afflecks’ mutual commitment to heritage and innovation.”
