Beloved Danish lifestyle retailer Søstrene Grene to move into Manchester Arndale

Manchester Arndale is the latest to get the ‘Grene’ light, as a beloved Danish lifestyle and home decor brand will soon be opening.

Known for its contemporary – yet surprisingly affordable – home decor, furniture, and stylish lifestyle products, stepping foot inside a Søstrene Grene is store is arguably unlike any other experience on the high street, thanks to its unique layout and winding aisles making it feel like you’re discovering something new around every corner.

Founded in Aarhus in Denmark back in 1973 by Inger Grene and Knud Cresten Vaupell Olsen, and renowned for its distinctive shopping experience, Søstrene Grene – which translates as the ‘Green Sisters’ – is now led by Grene’s sons, Mikkel and Cresten Grene.

The brothers are making sure that while the brand continues to grow internationally, it still stays true to its family roots.

The popular retailer offers a wide assortment of homeware, kitchen items, craft supplies, soft furnishings, toys, gift ideas, seasonal décor, and everything in between.

Manchester Arndale says it’s ‘delighted’ to be welcoming the Scandinavian retailer to the shopping centre, as it prepares to open a 4,952 sq ft store at the North West’s leading retail destination.

The new Søstrene Grene follows a recent flurry of other openings and announcements at Manchester Arndale, including Sephora, Alo Yoga, PureSeoul, Represent, and more, and also comes after the lifestyle brand announced that it would be opening a new store in Stockport.

“We are very much looking forward to opening yet another store in Manchester, further strengthening our local presence and at such a prime location as Arndale,” commented Søstrene Grene’s co-owner and Group CEO, Mikkel Grene.

“We have been warmly welcomed by the local customers who seem to appreciate our aesthetically pleasing and affordable products and not least the store experience, so we cannot wait to open the doors and invite even more new and existing customers to explore Søstrene Grene’s wonderful world.”
