Manchester Claims a Unique UK Retail First as a Global Fashion Giant Sets its Sights on the Trafford Centre

  • April 20, 2026
  • By Editor - Elliot Thompson

A major shift is coming to the regional retail landscape this autumn as a global fashion heavyweight prepares to expand its presence in Manchester.

The arrival of a new UNIQLO store at the Trafford Centre marks a significant moment for the city, as Manchester becomes the first location outside of London to host two of the brand’s outlets.

The upcoming store will feature the full range of the retailer’s collections, spanning women’s, men’s, kids, and babies. The focus remains on versatile wardrobe essentials that balance comfort and style, catering to the modern lifestyles of shoppers across Greater Manchester.

Simon Layton, Centre Director at Trafford Centre said:

“We’re thrilled to welcome UNIQLO to Trafford Centre. 

“It’s a brand our visitors know and love, and its arrival brings even more choice for shoppers looking for stylish, high-quality everyday clothing. 

“We’re looking forward to seeing Trafford Centre customers discover and enjoy the new store.”

The LifeWear Philosophy

The new location will provide easier access for customers to explore the LifeWear collection, a range defined by high-quality, functional clothing designed to improve everyday life. 

By bringing this philosophy to the Trafford Centre, the brand aligns itself with a city known for its energy and individuality, offering pieces that encourage self-expression without sacrificing practicality.

Expanding the Fashion Line-up

The addition of this global retailer strengthens the existing fashion offering at the landmark shopping destination. 

Whether visitors are looking to refresh their daily basics or seek out new seasonal pieces, the store aims to provide well-designed clothing that is accessible to all.

Further details regarding the specific opening date and in-store features are expected closer to the autumn launch.

For more information on the current lineup of brands at the venue, you can visit the official Trafford Centre website.
