The centre is thrilled to announce that the UK’s largest Asian supermarket chain, Oseyo, has selected the centre for its latest location in the city after signing a 15-year lease for a 12,580sq ft unit.
Oseyo, who already has a shop in Manchester on Oxford Road, will bring the vibrant flavours of Korea and Asia to the heart of the city centre. On offer will be a wide variety of groceries and products, from snacks and sauces to fresh produce and authentic ingredients. ‘Oseyo’, which means ‘Welcome’ in Korean, is the message at the very core of the brand; catering to both the Korean community and those eager to explore new culinary experiences, there’s something for everyone to enjoy and discover. Oseyo also brings exciting produce from some of Korea’s biggest food brands, such as CJ BIBIGO, DAESANG, SAMYANG and NONGSHIM to a wider UK audience.
The arrival of Oseyo continues a strong run of lettings to major global brands including Moss, Gilly Hicks, Nike, Manchester City, Clarks, Flying Tiger, MINISO, Tommy Hilfiger, Kick Game and Kurt Geiger. The store will also prove a welcome addition to the centre’s thriving food and beverage offer, which includes recent arrivals Black Sheep Coffee, Krispy Kreme, and Slim Chickens.
Steve Gray, Head of European Retail Asset Management at Global Mutual, said: “We’re very excited to welcome Oseyo to Manchester Arndale as we continue to enhance our varied offer. We place great importance on creating a mix that caters to the city’s diverse taste and we are certain Oseyo will fit the bill. With such exciting leasing activity taking place it is clear there is continued demand for well-placed retail units, and we are delighted to see confidence in Manchester Arndale’s long-term performance; we hope to share more exciting news soon.”
