B&M has announced that ice lollies designed just for dogs are currently available in stores.

The budget retailer posted pictures of the “Pup Ice” products on social media this weekend (August 15) – revealing that these sweet treats are being included on shelves for the summer.

These lollies have been created exclusively for pooches – requiring three hours in the freezer before they’re to ready to eat.

Costing £2 a pack, Pup Ices are currently available in two separate flavours: Peanut & Chocolate and Strawberry & Banana.

B&M has called the lollies a great treat for a hot day, “ideal for helping your pup cool down”.

A heatwave is still supposed to be coming to the North West soon, and whilst there’s no sign of that blazing sunshine we were promised just yet, there will hopefully be some warmer weather towards the end of August.

If you fancy stocking up on some of these dog ice lollies so you can spoil your pup when the hot temperatures do arrive, find your nearest B&M using the store locator tool.

Students can get themselves up to 30% off on food, activities, and loads of big-name brands at the Trafford Centre next month.

With thousands of new and returning students starting to arrive for the new academic year at Greater Manchester‘s universities, one of the region’s biggest student nights will be making a long-awaited comeback for one night only next month – and there’ll be loads of exclusive offers and free entertainment to make the most of across the evening.

Taking over the Trafford Centre in early October, the popular one-off student night is happening in partnership with Student Beans, and gives cash-strapped students the chance to shop a variety of incredible discounts all under one roof.

Just some of the big brands offering big discounts include 25% off at Levi’s and Boux Avenue, 20% off at Gymshark, Hollister and Abercrombie & Fitch, and 15% off at KIKO, Rituals, and Sephora.

It’s not just retail brands you’ll be able to save some pennies on either, as many of the Trafford Centre’s restaurants and cafes will also be offering discounts and freebies on the night too.

Alongside the offers, students can expect plenty of live entertainment and in-store experiences throughout the evening, including a DJ set and drinks at Calvin Klein, in-store fitness challenges and at Gymshark, an exclusive piercing event at Lovisa, and a Beauty Hub takeover at Sephora.

There’ll also be ‘spin-to-win’ opportunities at places like schuh, River Island, and YO! Sushi.

Opening date finally confirmed for new Uniqlo store at the Trafford Centre

Emily Sergeant Emily Sergeant

Uniqlo is preparing to open its second store in Greater Manchester, and the official launch date has finally been confirmed.

The popular Japanese high street fashion retailer currently operates 24 stores in the UK, with its first British store having opened its doors all the way back in 2001, and its first European flagship store opening on Oxford Street in London in 2007 – but it was revealed earlier this year in April that Manchester was set to get a second helping.

Uniqlo announced that it would be opening its second Greater Manchester inside the Trafford Centre this autumn, following the huge success of its city centre store opening on Market Street in 2019.

The Trafford Centre store is set to make Manchester the first location outside of London to have two Uniqlo stores.

When news broke that the hoardings had officially gone up inside the shopping centre, elated shoppers raced to the comments to say things like: “No way! I’ve been waiting years for this.”

“Uniqlo in Trafford Centre would be a dream come true,” another person said on Instagram, while a third added: “I will never have to step foot on Market Street again,” and plenty others chimed in with comments like ‘finally’ and ‘can’t wait’.

And now, we officially have an opening date to share with you.

Uniqlo will open in the Trafford Centre for the first time on Thursday 15 October, with plenty of events happening across its extended opening weekend.

Traditional Japanese Taiko drumming performances will be happening throughout the day on Thursday 15 and Saturday 17 October, while the first 300 customers to spend over £69.90 in store on the Thursday (15 October) will get a special Uniqlo Manchester goody bag.

Uniqlo’s arrival at the Trafford Centre follows the opening of several other high-profile stores in recent months, like Urban Outfitters, White Company, Stradivarius, and many more.
