Manchester Arndale to welcome relocated Neal’s Yard Remedies store

Neal’s Yard Remedies is set to open a new store at Manchester Arndale shopping centre after agreeing a 10-year lease for a 873 sq ft unit.

The wellbeing brand will relocate from its existing Manchester store on King Street, taking over the current Claire’s store.

At its new store, Neal’s Yard Remedies – which was founded in 1981 in London’s Covent Garden – will offer a range of skincare, bath and body products, essential oils, herbal remedies, beauty and wellness gifts. The space will look to provide customers with a sensory retail environment where they can receive personalised wellbeing advice.

The arrival of Neal’s Yard Remedies at Manchester Arndale follows a successful period of new signings across retail, leisure and F&B at the scheme, which has welcomed the likes of Arc’teryx, Pro:Direct, Sephora, XF Gym, Hotel Chocolat, and, most recently, Wingstop.

Scott Linard, portfolio manager for M&G Real Estate, said: “We are delighted to welcome Neal’s Yard Remedies to Manchester Arndale. Securing a 10-year commitment from such a respected and established brand, particularly as it relocates from the renowned King Street, is a major endorsement of the strength of our offer. Signing on the heels of Wingstop UKI and a trio of lease renewals from Argos, Lush and Lovisa, Neal’s Yard Remedies is a perfect fit for our customer base.”

Steve Gray, head of European retail asset management at Global Mutual, added: “The brand’s heritage and focus on sustainability align strongly with our vision for Manchester Arndale. By continually enhancing our offer with best-in-class retailers, we are creating a destination that meets the evolving needs of shoppers across Manchester and beyond, driving footfall and supporting long-term growth across the scheme.”
