Liverpool ONE scores brace of football-led debuts

Liverpool ONE is set to welcome a pair of football-led concepts, with leisure concept Crossbar and football retailer Pro:Direct Soccer both making their debuts at the scheme next spring.

Opening a 6,000 sq ft PD:FC store, Pro:Direct Soccer will offer a range of on-pitch gear, training equipment, terrace-inspired fashion, and tech clothing and trainers.

Situated above Pro:Direct will be Crossbar, which will open a 25,000 sq ft venue on Manesty’s Lane. The concept will feature tech-enabled football boxes with reactive projection, motion tracking, and surround sound. It will also include a bar and casual dining area, while upstairs, Club 11 will provide a restaurant experience.

This follows the recent announcement that Crossbar will open at Printworks Manchester in June 2026.

Rob Deacon, director of asset management at Liverpool ONE, Landsec, said: “Experience is at the heart of everything we do at Liverpool ONE and we want to create enjoyable moments for visitors every time they are here. Crossbar will be a strong new anchor that provides even more reasons to visit or lengthen an existing trip.  Joined by PD:FC’s city debut, the brands further reaffirm Liverpool ONE’s position as one of the UK’s leading retail and leisure destinations.”

Together with the recently opened 7,000 sq ft Anthropologie store, the new signings complete the re-letting of the former Flannels and Beauty Bazaar Harvey Nichols units at Liverpool ONE.
