Neal’s Yard Remedies has opened at Manchester Arndale following its relocation from King Street in Manchester.
The beauty and wellbeing retailer occupies an 873 sq ft Upper Mall unit previously occupied by Claire’s, having agreed a 10-year lease at Manchester Arndale.
Founded in London’s Covent Garden in 1981, Neal’s Yard Remedies offers natural and organic skincare, body care and wellbeing products. The Manchester Arndale store carries skincare, bath and body products, essential oils, herbal remedies, beauty products and wellness gifts.
Store Of The Future Concept Introduced To Manchester
The store introduces the retailer’s Store of the Future concept to Manchester, following its development at the brand’s London flagship. The interior has been designed to reference Neal’s Yard Remedies’ apothecary heritage, with space for customers to explore products and receive personalised wellbeing advice.
The opening follows a period of leasing activity at Manchester Arndale across retail, leisure and food and beverage. Recent signings cited by the scheme include Arc’teryx, PRO:DIRECT, Sephora, XF Gym, Hotel Chocolat and Wingstop UKI, alongside lease renewals by Argos, Lush and Lovisa.
“We are delighted to welcome Neal’s Yard Remedies to Manchester Arndale. Securing a 10-year commitment from such a respected and established brand, particularly as it relocates from the renowned King Street, is a major endorsement of the strength of our offer. Signing on the heels of Wingstop UKI and a trio of lease renewals from Argos, Lush and Lovisa, Neal’s Yard Remedies is a perfect fit for our customer base.”
Scott Linard, Portfolio Manager for M&G Real Estate
“The brand’s heritage and focus on sustainability align strongly with our vision for Manchester Arndale. By continually enhancing our offer with best-in-class retailers, we are creating a destination that meets the evolving needs of shoppers across Manchester and beyond, driving footfall and supporting long-term growth across the scheme.”
