AllSaints is leaving Market Street as part of mini Arndale revamp - here's what else is coming

AllSaints is leaving Market Street for a new location as part of a mini revamp of the Arndale.

The fashion retailer has signed a new ten-year lease on a unit on New Cannon Street, the indoor mall strip that is also home to similar brands such as Topman, Gap and River Island.

The move is part of a raft of changes announced by M&G Real Estate and intu, the joint owners of Manchester Arndale.

MetroBank will be taking over the unit that All Saints is leaving on Market Street.

Meanwhile, three new brands are also moving into empty units on New Cannon Street.

Clothing brands Jack & Jones and Quiz are taking a 6,400 sq ft unit, while home and body lifestyle retailer Rituals is taking a 990 sq ft unit.

It comes after Uniqlo opened its flagship store for the North at the Arndale last month.

The store, only Uniqlo’s third in the UK outside London, occupies a completely redesigned 21,000 sq ft unit on Market Street.

The opening saw hundreds of people queue up the street to get their hands on the Japanese fashion brand’s cool and colourful ranges for men, women and children.

Colin Flinn, regional managing director at intu, said: "These new retailers and investment from top brands demonstrates the continued demand for high quality fashion in Manchester Arndale. The centre continues to be the city’s central fashion hub and is a destination for shoppers and retailers across the North. 

"We’re really looking forward to seeing AllSaints’ new unit which will be the latest shop fit from a retailer renowned for its high quality retail environments.

"Hundreds of people queued for the opening of Uniqlo, a further example of just how much demand there is for quality fashion in Manchester."
