Trafford Centre has confirmed that Stradivarius will open a larger, upgraded store at the scheme in Spring 2026, as fashion continues to drive growth at the destination.
The announcement follows a year in which more than 50% of the centre’s 2025 sales growth was generated by fashion, sportswear and footwear categories.
The new 13,500 sq ft Stradivarius store, located in Lower Peel Avenue, represents a significant upsize for the brand. The expanded unit will offer a broader selection of collections and accessories within an updated retail environment.
Inditex Strengthens Presence
The investment forms part of wider activity by Inditex Group at Trafford Centre. During 2025, the destination welcomed Bershka, alongside a new Zara concept store and an upsized Pull&Bear, which more than doubled its footprint. The latest Stradivarius commitment further consolidates Inditex’s presence at the scheme.
“The newly upsized Stradivarius completes Inditex’s significant investment in Trafford Centre and provides shoppers with its full comprehensive fashion offer. This announcement only strengthens our market-leading fashion mix and reflects sustained demand from leading global retailers to invest in and improve their offering at our destination.”
