Anthropologie set to open flagship store in Manchester’s Royal Exchange

Beloved lifestyle and fashion store Anthropologie is finally coming to Manchester, opening a new flagship store in the beautiful Royal Exchange building.

The American brand is famed for its curated range of clothing, shoes, accessories, activewear, beauty, wellness, furniture, home décor, bridal, and loads more.

Hoardings are now up for the new Anthropologie store, just off St Ann’s Square in the heart of Manchester, and one of three new UK openings planned for this year.

Anthropologie will also be opening in Liverpool and Glasgow before the year is out.

All three new stores will stock the home and accessories ranges, as well as clothing from brands like Anthropologie’s own labels Maeve, Pilcro and Daily Practice.

Anthropologie in Manchester will span more than 5,000 sq ft and promises to ’embody the heritage of the historic building’.

It’s owned by the same parent company behind Urban Outfitters and Free People, the former of which just opened a new store at the Trafford Centre for the first time.

Matt Hilgeman, Managing Director at Anthropologie International, said: “We’re delighted to be opening in Manchester, a city that embodies the cultural energy and creativity at the heart of Anthropologie.

“Manchester is an ideal location for our continued UK expansion after Liverpool. This store represents an important milestone for Anthropologie, and we’re looking forward to welcoming the local community into a space that feels both inspiring and unique.”

Anthropologie Manchester officially opens on 26 November.
