Top Italian chef Maurizio Cecco has revealed plans to open a third Salvi’s location in Manchester, this time on Deansgate Square, as his successful restaurant brand marks ten years in the city.
Spanning a swanky new restaurant, bar, deli, terrace, and exhibition space, the new site is all set to become a brilliant new hub for Italian foodies.
Located in the luxury new Deansgate Square towers development, it joins successful new openings Atomeca and Deansgate General Stores in what is fast becoming a new must-visit quarter for gourmands.

Serving up a variety of southern Italian cuisine, from gelato to pizza and cicchetti alongside Italian wines, beers, spritz and a deli for takeaway ‘sfizio’, the new restaurant, bar and deli will make an excellent addition to the southern end of Deansgate.
New dishes will draw upon original family recipes created by Maurizio’s mother, Nonna Teresa, as well as from his native Naples. whilst others will nod to Salvi’s two pre-existing Manchester sites in the Corn Exchange and the Northern Quarter.

What’s more, there’ll even be pasta-making classes hosted here with the main man himself, taking place in the new covered and heated outdoor private dining space on the terrace – the first of its kind to be built in Manchester.
Guests will also be able to book the one-of-a-kind outdoor private dining space for their events and parties.

Having first begun life as a deli in the Corn Exchange a decade ago, Salvi’s has come a long way indeed: bringing an authentic slice of southern Italy through its restaurants and annual Italian food festival Festa Italiana.
Speaking on the new opening plans Maurizio Cecco, Managing Director of Salvi’s, said: “Manchester is our home and we’re always looking for new potential sites so this seemed too good to miss! Deansgate Square gives us the opportunity to bring together all the best aspects of Salvi’s, plus we can now roll out some new ideas that we’re really excited about.”
Cult US sustainable clothing brand Reformation to open in Manchester city centre

Cult US sustainable clothing brand Reformation is set to open its doors in Manchester very soon.
Since it was first founded in Los Angeles all the way back in 2009, Reformation has gone on to become one of the largest sustainable womenswear brands on the planet, and is now known and loved for making beautiful, timeless apparel and accessories that aim to ‘inspire confidence’ across life stages and occasions.
Operating on a business model that pairs a smart approach to merchandising with a responsive supply chain, Reformation now operates more than 70 retail stores across the US, UK, Canada, and France.
At the heart of the Reformation story is a genuine commitment to ‘doing things differently’.
Since day one, sustainability has been woven into everything the brand makes – from the eco-certified fabrics and responsible factories, to its famously transparent sustainability reports.
Currently, Reformation has five UK stores to its name – but, it may come as no surprise to fans of the brand that they’re all in London.
That’s why the news of this new Manchester opening is such a big deal.
Set to be the label’s first UK store outside of the capital, Reformation has secured a prime spot on King Street in the heart of the city centre, and although there’s no confirmed opening date as of yet, if the shop windows saying ‘Summer 2026’ are anything to go by, we can only imagine it’ll be very soon.
“For Manchester, it’s a landmark moment, and for King Street, it’s the latest signal that this is one of the UK’s most exciting retail destinations,” a spokesperson for King Street said in a statement.
Stay tuned for details on opening dates to be announced in due course.

Andy Burnham to begin rolling out new ‘everyday fixes’ for Brits amid cost of living crisis
Emily Sergeant
A series of ‘everyday fixes’ to help combat the rising cost of living crisis are soon to be rolled out nationwide.
Kicking off with two measures today, new Prime Minister Andy Burnham has announced that he plans to ban retailers from making ‘misleading’ claims to customers about discounts.
The Government says shoppers have ‘increasingly complained’ about outlets artificially inflating prices to give a false sense of value, such as increasing prices only to then immediately advertise ‘discounts’ to make savings look larger than they really are, which goes on to create an uneven playing field for honest competitors.
The Prime Minister also wants to see an end to so-called ‘subscription traps’, where people find it hard to cancel their subscriptions, and contracts are automatically renewed at a higher cost.
Set to come into force in January 2027 and saving people an average of £14 a month for every unwanted subscription, the changes will mean businesses will need to provide clearer up-front information, regular reminders. and a ‘much easier’ exit to contracts.

A new 14-day cooling-off period will also be introduced to let consumers cancel after a trial or long-term contract renews.
Certain charitable memberships, like the ones for cultural and heritage organisations for example, will be excluded from the new subscription rules due to the fact they have a unique role in preserving the nation’s history, landscapes, and cultural collections.
The Prime Minister says he is ‘determined’ to use every chance he gets to restore fairness and take pressure off people.
“I know people are sick and tired of rip-off discounts and subscription traps,” Andy Burnham said. “Westminster has got used to telling people that everyday hassles like this are just part of life, but I don’t think that’s right, especially when the cost of living continues to weigh heavily on so many people’s lives.”
