Neal’s Yard Remedies is set to relocate from King Street to Manchester Arndale after signing a 10-year lease, adding another health and beauty brand to the city-centre scheme’s current leasing activity.
Neal’s Yard Remedies has become the latest retailer to commit to Manchester Arndale after agreeing a 10-year lease on an 873 sq ft unit at the scheme, replacing the current Claire’s store. The move will see the brand relocate from King Street in Manchester, adding to the centre’s growing health and wellbeing offer.
Founded in 1981 in London’s Covent Garden, Neal’s Yard Remedies is known for its natural and organic skincare, body care and wellbeing products. The brand has built its position around ethically sourced ingredients, scientifically proven formulations, and a focus on sustainable and cruelty-free beauty.
At Manchester Arndale, the new store will showcase Neal’s Yard Remedies’ range of skincare, bath and body products, essential oils, herbal remedies, and beauty and wellness gifts. Designed to reflect the brand’s apothecary heritage, the space is intended to provide a sensorial retail environment in which customers can receive personalised wellbeing advice and explore the brand’s natural beauty proposition.
The signing continues leasing activity at the scheme following a run of deals across retail, leisure and food and beverage, including Arc’teryx, PRO:DIRECT, Sephora, XF Gym, Hotel Chocolat and Wingstop UKI. The centre has also recently secured lease renewals from 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.”
“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.”
Steve Gray, Head of European Retail Asset Management at Global Mutual
“We are thrilled to be opening our new store at Manchester Arndale – bringing our Store of the Future concept that we’ve pioneered at our Flagship store in London to this vibrant city. “We look forward to serving Manchester’s beauty community, offering our award-winning formulations and a personalised in-store experience tailored to every customer’s wellbeing need.”
Anabel Kindersley, CEO and Co-Owner of Neal’s Yard Remedies
Metis Real Estate and Time Retail Partners are retained as Manchester Arndale’s letting agents. The latest deal adds further momentum to the scheme’s current leasing programme.
