MOSCOT, the New York City heritage eyewear brand, opens its fifth Shop in the UK and its first Shop in the north of England at 50 King Street, Manchester M2 4L – marking its 44th Shop worldwide.
Located on historic King Street, the opening marks the next exciting chapter in MOSCOT’s UK journey. For over a decade, customers from across the country have travelled to the brand’s four London Shops to experience MOSCOT firsthand. Now, MOSCOT brings a slice of the Lower East Side to its growing community in the north of England.
“After more than ten years and four Shops in London, we’re proud to take MOSCOT’s next step in the UK with Manchester,” says Dr. Harvey Moscot, 4th Generation & CEO. “We’ve built a strong community of customers across the country, and this opening allows us to better meet them where they are. Manchester’s independent spirit, rich history, and creative energy make King Street an exciting home for our first Shop outside London.”
Spanning 121 square meters, MOSCOT Manchester brings Lower East Side character to the heart of the city. Signature tin ceilings, vintage tchotchkes, family photographs, and historical artifacts create an immersive journey through five generations of MOSCOT history and optical expertise.
Customers can explore MOSCOT’s full optical and sun collections, including iconic MOSCOT Originals and Custom Made Tints™, with expert opticians and stylists on hand to provide personalized guidance on frames, fit, and lenses. An in-house eye testing facility offers customers the convenience of updating their prescriptions and finding their next pair – all under one roof.
“Manchester has the kind of character we’re always drawn to – authentic, individual, and deeply creative,” adds Zack Moscot, 5th Generation & Chief Design Officer. “From its legendary music and fashion scenes to its industrial heritage, the city has always done things its own way. That independent spirit feels very MOSCOT, and we’re excited to bring a little downtown New York to King Street.”
