GAP is making a long-awaited return to Manchester, and it’s opening up inside Next in the Trafford Centre this weekend.
In what is part of the popular fashion brand’s UK expansion, and all set to open to the public just in time for the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping over the festive period, the Gap-branded store will open its doors on the first floor of NEXT in the Trafford Centre this Saturday 26 November, and will cover over 2,200 square feet of retail space.
The all-new Trafford Centre store will have a modern and minimal design, with GAP saying it “embodies the brand’s reinvented approach to retail in the UK”.
Those making their way to the shopping centre over the next couple of weeks will get the chance to browse and shop from curated collections of everyday essentials – including denim, fleece, khakis, shirting, and of course, the iconic GAP logo-emblazoned products.
Not only that, but Gap.co.uk also offers a free next-day Click & Collect service, and a free returns option, to any GAP or NEXT store, including from the next Trafford Centre store, giving even more ways to shop.

HIP – New shop swoops in to former Oi Polloi site in the Northern Quarter
Daisy Jackson
A new retailer has already taken over the old Oi Polloi unit in the Northern Quarter, after the beloved streetwear shop closed after more than 20 years.
In its place now is HIP, a lifestyle store founded in Leeds back in 1987.
Brands stocked by HIP include Carhartt WIP, Fred Perry, Adidas Originals, Converse and The North Face.
The shop has opened its doors this week on Thomas Street in the heart of the Northern Quarter – good news for everyone who called for a high-quality retail offering to stay in this part of town.
This is HIP’s first shop outside of Leeds and promises a roster of sought-after and exclusive products, ranging from clothing and footwear to accessories.

Morrisons is giving hungry customers the chance to tuck into a hearty helping of fish and chips at half the price for just one day only today.
And it’s all to suitably celebrate National Fish and Chip Day.
A popular annual event in the British foodie calendar, National Fish and Chip Day falls on Friday 2 June this year, and to mark the special occasion, Morrisons has slashed the price of its usual chippy offering at hundreds of its in-store cafes nationwide.
The major supermarket has more than 400 cafes inside stores right across the UK, and the half-price food offer is believed to be available at all of them.

Adults can enjoy Fish, Chips and Peas for just £3.49, while the children‘s Mini Fish, Chips and Peas meal has also been reduced to £2.74.
Not a bad bargain at all, right?
The only catch is though, you’ll need to be signed-up to the supermarket‘s loyalty scheme and scan your Morrisons More card at the cafe checkout if you want to claim the half price offer.

Morrisons’ half-price fish and chips offer also comes after it relaunched its popular ‘Ask for Henry’ initiative towards the end of April after a successful run when it was first introduced amid the rising cost of living crisis in 2022.
‘Ask for Henry’ saw the retailer team up with Heinz for scheme that’s aimed at helping those struggling with their finances get themselves a free hot meal.
