Liverpool city centre is packed full of retailers, restaurants , bars and much more but for many shoppers there has always been one major department store missing.
The question of 'why doesn't Liverpool have a Selfridges?' has long been asked particularly since the opening of Liverpool ONE back in 2008, which has helped bring some of the biggest brands to the city.
We're lucky to have a John Lewis , Debenhams and a Beauty Bazaar Harvey Nichols but we often can't help but compare ourselves to neighbouring cities like Manchester which has all of this plus two Selfridges stores.
Despite rumours, there have never been plans to open a Selfridges in Liverpool city centre either.
The ECHO approached the designer retailer to ask the reason for this and why no future plans are in place.
A spokesperson for Selfridges explained how its main focus was to concentrate on the growth of its Manchester and London stores which many shoppers from Liverpool still travel to.
Its online store was also a priority to the business. Sadly for Scousers, Selfridges did confirm to the ECHO it has no plans to open any additional stores.
A spokesperson said: “Our main focus is to ensure our existing London and regional stores, as well as our digital store at Selfridges.com which reaches the whole of the UK as well as over 130 countries, are the most compelling retail destinations and that each deliver extraordinary customer experiences. We have no plans to open additional stores.”
