ProCook opens largest store yet at Manchester Arndale
ProCook has opened its largest UK store to date at Manchester Arndale.
The kitchenware retailer has signed a 10-year lease for a 5,052 sq ft unit, where it offers a range of cookware, kitchen accessories, and tableware.
The new Manchester Arndale store marks ProCook’s first-ever central Manchester location, and its arrival follows a raft of new leasing announcements from Manchester Arndale including Boux Avenue, Xtra Fit, and Sephora.
Steve Gray, head of European retail asset management at Global Mutual, said: “It’s fantastic to be welcoming ProCook to the line-up as Manchester Arndale’s first dedicated kitchenware brand. The brand joins the centre at a really exciting time following the recent opening of Sephora, the upcoming launch of Xtra Fit’s first Manchester location.
“ProCook’s quality offering complements our strong line-up of homeware brands including household names such as Argos, TkMaxx and Next and we are looking forward to seeing our shoppers explore the new store when it opens later this year”.
Lee Tappenden, chief executive of ProCook, added: “The opening of our Manchester Arndale store marks another important milestone in our retail expansion and reflects our continued investment in bringing the ProCook brand to major retail destinations across the UK. This is a great setting to showcase our latest store design and we’re proud to be introducing it to one of the country’s most high-profile shopping centres.”
