Arne to open second permanent store on Manchester’s New Cathedral Street

Arne is set to open its second permanent store on New Cathedral Street in Manchester.

The modern fashion retailer will occupy a 2,720 sq ft unit on a 10-year lease, with the store set to open in June.

Founded in Liverpool in 2018 as an e-commerce platform, Arne has since grown to open its first permanent space at Liverpool ONE in September 2025 following a series of pop-ups. The brand also operates a pop-up space at Manchester’s Trafford Centre.

Arne joins a number of recent openings on New Cathedral Street, including Alo Yoga, Arc’teryx and Represent.

Scott Linard, portfolio manager for M&G Real Estate, said: “Arne’s selection of New Cathedral Street for one of its first physical locations is a strong vote in confidence from yet another digitally native brand, following Alo Yoga, Represent and Arc’teryx. This addition further enhances our premium fashion offer and reflects our focus on attracting best-in-class brands that resonate with our visitors and reinforces our position as the North West’s home of fashion.”

Steve Gray, head of European retail asset management at Global Mutual, added: “We are delighted to welcome Arne as it takes this next step into physical retail. This move highlights the strength of New Cathedral Street as a destination for brands looking to connect with customers in a highly engaging environment.”
