Manchester’s Trafford Centre to welcome Flying Tiger
Flying Tiger Copenhagen is set to open a new store at the Trafford Centre in Manchester.
The variety retailer has taken a 1,500 sq ft store on the scheme’s Upper Peel Avenue for its 81st location in the UK.
The store will open its doors on February 14th – Valentine’s Day, and will become the brand’s first opening of 2025.
Flying Tiger at the Trafford Centre will feature the brand’s core range alongside its seasonal love-themed products in celebration of Valentine’s Day.
The brand looks to keep sustainability at the core of its ethos, with a focus on conducting business ethically and responsibly through its entire supply chain, which the Trafford Centre said aligns with its ESG programme. The scheme has implemented initiatives to reduce the direct greenhouse gas emissions of the spaces it controls to achieve Net Zero carbon by 2030.
Michael Burke, managing director for Flying Tiger Copenhagen UK & Ireland, said: “Flying Tiger Copenhagen aims to inspire and make every day extraordinary through affordable, design-led products. The opening of our Trafford Centre store marks our first opening in 2025 and expansion of our presence in the UK, bringing our unique shopping experience to even more customers. What’s more, Trafford Centre has been a target destination for Flying Tiger Copenhagen for a number of years as we focus on store opening opportunities in the North West of the UK, so we look forward to seeing how visitors to the centre embrace the new offering.”
Kate Pearson, director of asset management at Pradera Lateral, Trafford Centre’s asset managers, added: “Flying Tiger Copenhagen has an excellent reputation, bringing Scandinavian design and affordability to an enthusiastic customer base. We are sure Trafford Centre visitors will enthusiastically welcome this fantastic variety store to the centre.”
