It's been nearly 30 years since one unforgettable flagship store - still loved and remembered in the city - first came to Manchester.
Since opening in the 1970s, Manchester Arndale has boasted many popular shops. But back in the 90s, kids from the Manchester were ecstatic when Warner Bros announced they were opening one of their popular Studio Stores in the city. Similar to competitors Disney, the Warner Bros. Studio Stores sold paraphernalia decorated with everything Looney Tunes, DC Comics and Warner Bros. to eager customers.
From Bugs Bunny to Tweety Pie, Batman and more, it became a staple in the shopping centre. You'd wander in to explore the treasure trove of toys, comics and gifts and be on your best behaviour in the hopes you'd be allowed to buy something to take home.
