Lululemon to double footprint at Manchester’s Trafford Centre

Lululemon is set to open a significantly-upsized store at Trafford Centre, more than doubling its footprint at the Manchester scheme.

The athletic apparel brand’s new space will feature 3,700 sq ft of sales space, representing an increased footprint of over 150%. It will offer a range of Lululemon’s apparel, footwear, and accessories, designed to support a range of activities including yoga, Pilates, running, training, golf, and tennis.

The upsize follows a period of continued momentum for the athleisure and sportswear category at Trafford Centre, which recorded a year-on-year sales increase of 16% in December 2025.

Kate Pearson, director of portfolio leasing at Pradera Lateral, asset manager of Trafford Centre, said: “Lululemon’s decision to relocate and increase its Trafford Centre Manchester location is a powerful endorsement of the strength of our retail proposition. It reflects a clear trend of leading global brands investing in larger, more immersive spaces where they can connect with our highly engaged and diverse customer base.

“The continued growth of our athleisure and performance category has firmly positioned Trafford Centre at the forefront of the sector and Lululemon will be a standout brand within it.”
