Arndale announces latest retailer to move in as bosses target 'fashion-forward' Mancs

A new optical retailer is moving into the Arndale — and is set to be there for a decade.

Sunglass Hut will move into a 932 sq ft unit in the centre. It has signed a 10-year lease.

The move follows other recent arrivals in Manchester City FC, which opened last month, and Black Sheep Coffee.

That’s alongside Moss, Gilly Hicks, Nike, Clarks, Flying Tiger, MINISO, Tommy Hilfiger, Kick Game and Kurt Geiger. It means bosses are confident the Arndale will continue to be a success.

“Sunglass Hut's arrival further enhances the great range of retailers we have at Manchester Arndale and will no doubt resonate with Manchester's vibrant and fashion-forward demographic, which includes students and families,” Steve Gray, Head of European Retail Asset Management at Global Mutual, said.

“With a diverse tenant mix that encompasses everything from fashion and accessories to an array of food and beverage options, Manchester Arndale offers a uniquely comprehensive experience. We believe Sunglass Hut's presence will help contribute to the ongoing success and appeal of the centre as a premier retail and leisure destination.”

Established for more than 50 years, Sunglass Hut will offer a range of fashionable eyewear, and accessories, like cases, cleaning kits, and replacement lenses.
