Manchester Arndale is set to welcome Montreal-born lifestyle brand, GARAGE, with a new city centre premier location.
The new store will be one GARAGE’s first locations in the North West, further strengthening Manchester Arndale’s position as a key retail hub for brands expanding beyond London.
Known for its signature mix of elevated off-duty essentials and active lifestyle pieces, GARAGE has built a strong following with its confidence design ethos. With 231 stores across North America, the brand made its UK debut with initial openings at Bluewater and on Oxford Street, supported by an e-commerce platform.
GARAGE’s arrival at Manchester Arndale will introduce its distinctive active, off-duty aesthetic to shoppers across the North West. With a strong concentration of style-conscious Gen Z consumers, alongside annual footfall exceeding 40 million and a student population of more than 100,000, Manchester Arndale aligns closely with the brand’s target audience.
GARAGE joins a wave of high-profile brands choosing Manchester Arndale as their home for regional expansion. Recent additions have further diversified the centre’s fashion offer.
Scott Linard, Portfolio Manager for M&G Real Estate, said: “We are delighted that GARAGE has selected Manchester Arndale for one of its first North West locations. Following recent openings, this addition further enhances our retail offer and complements our existing tenant mix. Our strategy remains focused on curating a strong line-up of best-in-class brands to meet the evolving demands of visitors from Manchester and beyond.”
