Footwear and accessories brand Dune London is stepping up its presence in the North West after signing a five-year lease for a 1,596sq ft space at Manchester Arndale.
The brand’s arrival complements other recent retail lettings at Manchester Arndale to The North Face, Sunglasses Hut, Nike and Oseyo. This is alongside the additions to its food and beverage line-up including Black Sheep Coffee, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Lazy Sundae, Slim Chickens and Tim Hortons.
Steve Gray, head of European retail asset management at Global Mutual, said: “Our commitment to offering a diverse retail mix – as well as a wide variety of leisure and F&B brands – ensures that Manchester Arndale remains a premier destination for shoppers. Dune London’s arrival will cater to Manchester Arndale’s stylish clientele, and we’re delighted to welcome the brand to the centre.
“Our approach not only seeks to strengthen footfall but also to drive demand for well-placed units, taking our retail occupancy close to 95%. Manchester Arndale’s strategic location and commitment to providing a unique shopping and dining experience continue to make it a magnet for brands seeking to expand their presence in the city.”
