Inditex continues Trafford Centre investment with Stradivarius upsize

Stradivarius is set to upsize its store at Trafford Centre, marking the latest phase of investment from fashion group Inditex into the Manchester scheme.

Opening this spring, the womenswear retailer’s new 13,500 sq ft store will be located in Lower Peel Avenue and will offer a larger collection of clothing and accessories.

The announcement comes after a year of growth at the centre, where over 50% of the scheme’s 2025 sales growth originated from the fashion, sportswear, and footwear categories.

Stradivarius’ upsize follows a number of investments at Trafford Centre from its parent company Inditex Group. In 2025, the centre welcomed Bershka, as well as relocations from Zara and Pull&Bear, which more than doubled its footprint.

Kate Pearson, director of portfolio leasing at Pradera Lateral, asset manager at Trafford Centre, said: “The newly upsized Stradivarius completes Inditex’s significant investment in Trafford Centre and provides shoppers with its full comprehensive fashion offer.  This announcement only strengthens our market-leading fashion mix and reflects sustained demand from leading global retailers to invest in and improve their offering at our destination.”
