POP MART to open 10th UK store at Manchester’s Trafford Centre
POP MART is set to open its 10th store in the UK at Manchester’s Trafford Centre.
Located on Regent’s Crescent, the 1,400 sq ft store will open later this month and offer a range of collectibles and toys.
Taking the brand’s UK presence to double figures, the Manchester store will join POP MART’s other locations such as London Oxford Street, Westfield London, Soho, Birmingham Bullring, and Cambridge.
The store will also join POP MART’s existing Manchester location situated on Market Street.
Peter Shipman, managing director and head of Europe for POP MART, said: “POP MART aims to celebrate entertainment and pop culture to a growing community of designer toy collectors. The opening of our Trafford Centre store expands our UK presence and helps to bring playful and engaging experiences to customers. Trafford Centre’s vibrant retail environment, strong footfall, and strategic location strengthens our opportunity to access both loyal fans and new audiences, and we look forward to seeing visitors embrace the fun collectable toys and retail experience.”
Kate Pearson, portfolio leasing director at Pradera Lateral, Trafford Centre’s asset manager, added: “POP MART is an exciting brand with extremely loyal followers, offering character-led collectibles and immersive retail experiences is something we pleased to endorse at Trafford Centre. We are thrilled to welcome the brand to the centre and are confident it will be very popular with visitors.”
