Footasylum steps into upgraded Trafford Centre store
Footasylum is set to reopen its upgraded Trafford Centre store in Greater Manchester.
The opening forms the latest milestone in the footwear and sportswear retailer’s UK retail expansion plans, following recent openings in Manchester Arndale, Trinity Leeds, and Merthyr Tydfil.
Spanning 17,178 sq ft, the store will offer a range of products from brands such as Nike, Adidas Originals, ASICS, Saucony, and Berghaus, alongside Footasylum-exclusive labels including Monterrain and Forena.
The Trafford Centre re-opening is the latest development in a period of significant momentum for Footasylum, which recently appointed Hannah Mercer as chief executive officer and has expanded internationally across the Central European and Gulf regions. It has also secured increased funding from HSBC UK to support its ongoing store rollout, expanded its warehousing capacity, and announced a strategic partnership with Trapstar, the British streetwear brand.
Shannon Osman, retail director at Footasylum, said, “The launch of our newly upgraded Trafford Centre store is another landmark moment for Footasylum in our UK expansionplan, as we continue to invest in high-impact, high-performing locations. As a company defined by setting trends and offering our customers the best experiences, we are thrilled to be offering customers another glimpse into what the future holds for Footasylum. This is an innovative retail destination that will allow us to deepen our connection with our already highly engaged Manchester audience, while also welcoming new customers who travel from far and wide to experience everything the Trafford Centre has to offer.”
