Urban Outfitters to Open New Trafford Centre Store

Urban Outfitters is set to open its second Manchester location at Trafford Centre on 2 October. Spanning over 6,705 sq ft of trading space, the new store further strengthens the brand’s retail presence in the UK and across Europe.

The new location will showcase a curated mix of style, culture, and creativity, featuring standout proprietary brands including Urban Outfitters Masterbrand, BDG, iets frans, Kimchi Blue, Loom, and Ayker.

Emma Wisden, President of Urban Outfitters EU, said: “We are hugely excited to be opening our second location in Manchester and our sixth store this year. We have always prioritized creating designs and spaces that are unique to us and inspire our customers to express their style. Our selection of standout proprietary brands, curated vintage products, global brands, and unique home and lifestyle items are individual to Urban Outfitters, and we want to continue to build on this momentum with further growth into Europe.”

Simon Layton, Centre Director at Trafford Centre, added: “We’re delighted to welcome Urban Outfitters to Trafford Centre – a store that our guests have been requesting for a long time! Their unique offering will really resonate with our visitors, particularly as we continue to evolve our retail lineup with brands that bring something fresh and exciting. We can’t wait to see visitors experiencing everything the new store has to offer.”

To celebrate the launch, Urban Outfitters will host an exclusive preview event for local brand fans, featuring a live DJ set, giveaways, and a customization station for products bought in-store.

The brand is known for delivering experiential stores that offer more than just shopping — a space where customers can explore, create, and express themselves.

The Trafford Centre opening follows a series of new store launches this year; Freiburg, Bremen, Milan, Metrocentre (Gateshead), and Cork. Marking the 73rd European store, Urban Outfitters is expected to open two more retail locations before the end of the year.
