A well-known fashion brand who closed all of their UK stores last year is returning to the high street - with a branch opening at the Trafford Centre next week. Gap announced the shock closure of their 81 stores in 2021 but 12 months on, they’re making a comeback.
The clothing specialist, famed for their hoodies and sweats, moved online only last autumn, but is now opening up a new ‘shop-in-shop’ experience ahead of the festive season.
The Trafford Centre announced that Gap would be opening inside their NEXT store next weekend, on Saturday, November 26.

It follows similar new stores inside NEXT branches at London’s Oxford Street and Birmingham’s Bullring, after the retailer signed a joint venture to manage Gap’s UK and Ireland stores last year.
A statement on the Trafford Centre website reads: “Gap UK is excited to announce the opening of its new shop-in-shop within NEXT at Trafford centre, marking the expansion of Gap’s physical presence within the UK.
“Embodying the brand’s reinvented approach to retail in the UK, the store boasts an open, modern and minimal design.”
The shop has been a staple for many UK customers since first opening its doors in the UK in 1987. Gap's flagship store in Manchester was, for some years, just off St Ann's Square but relocated to the Arndale Centre in 2018.
Customers will be able to shop curated collections of ‘elevated everyday essentials’ including denim, fleece, khakis, shirting and iconic logo products for women, men and children - just in time for Christmas!
