Stockport is set to welcome a major new arrival this year as Danish retail chain, Søstrene Grene, announces a new store opening in Merseyway Shopping Centre.
Known for its contemporary yet affordable home décor, furniture and stylish lifestyle products, Søstrene Grene offers a retail experience unlike any other on the high street – making this a huge win for local shoppers and a bold step forward in Stockport’s ongoing regeneration.
Founded in Aarhus, Denmark in 1973 by Inger Grene and Knud Cresten Vaupell Olsen, Søstrene Grene – which translates as the ‘Green Sisters’ – is celebrated for its curated collections of home décor, furniture, craft items and gift ideas. Now led by Grene’s sons, Mikkel and Cresten Grene, the brand continues to grow internationally, while staying true to its family-run roots.
Taking over a spacious 4,590sq ft unit formerly occupied by JD Sports, which last year relocated to a larger flagship store within the centre, the Søstrene Grene opening marks an exciting milestone for Stockport, where visitors will be able to experience a signature immersive shopping experience, featuring soft lighting, classical music and a distinctive labyrinth-style layout, designed to surprise and inspire at every turn.
Søstrene Grene Group CEO, Mikkel Grene said: “We are looking very much forward to opening our first store in wonderful Stockport. This opening will further solidify our presence in Greater Manchester, where we have many loyal customers. The location in Merseyway Shopping Centre is superb and this new store will be the first in the area to showcase our newest shopping concept where we have worked especially on evoking the visitors’ senses. We want our visitors to feel like entering a Søstrene Grene is like taking a break from an often-hectic everyday life and we cannot wait to spread this feeling amongst shoppers in Stockport.”
