Nespresso has opened a brand-new “experiential boutique” store inside the Trafford Centre, and it all looks very fancy.
Designed to engage both existing and new Nespresso customers through a range of “unique and personalised experiences”, the new Trafford Centre store means Greater Manchester‘s community of coffee lovers now get an unrivalled access to the beloved brand’s wide range of blends, machines, and accessories.
Shoppers will get to “immerse themselves in the world of Nespresso” through a sophisticated ‘Coffee as an Art’ tasting and masterclass area – with state-of-the-art coffee machines, and customised latte art workshops.
You can also create your own coffee recipes using digital tutorials and Nespresso machines at the interactive ‘Taste & Discover’ area, where specialists will be on hand to help you explore the full Nespresso range, and offer one-on-one coffee learning, tasting, and machine demonstrations so you can better understand your taste preferences.
There’s even a ‘Nespresso & You’ personalisation area so you can get your own travel mugs engraved with a name or personal message.

The new Trafford Centre store is also big on sustainability.
As Nespresso capsules are made of 80% recycled aluminium, making them infinitely recyclable, and the company co-founded the UK’s first industry-wide coffee capsule recycling scheme back in 2021, the brand’s sustainable ethics have been continued with throughout the design new store.
Not only is the new store run on 100% renewable energy and features a dedicated customer capsule return and recycling area, but tabletops are also made with used coffee grounds and 100% Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified wood, and there’s also an AR-powered ‘Circularity’ area showing how capsules are recycled and given a second life.
“Our boutiques are designed to encourage and support coffee exploration, creating an elevated experience for customers [and] the brand-new opening of our latest boutique at the Trafford Centre creates a new and innovative way for shoppers to enjoy and understand more about their coffee,” explained Luke Horwath – Head of Retail at Nespresso UK & ROI.
“The digital resources as well as our expertly trained staff will enable customers to learn about Nespresso blends, recipes, brewing methods, and our commitment to sustainability.”

And to top it all off, in a bid to properly celebrate the start of summer, the new Trafford Centre store is the only place in the UK where you can get yourself an exclusive first look and taste of Nespresso’s new Summer Iced range ahead of the collection’s official release on 30 May.
If you fancy seeing what the new Nespresso store is all about, it’s located on the Upper Regent Crescent next to the Trafford Centre’s New Orleans entrance.

Daisy Jackson
K-Beauty brand Pureseoul has announced plans for a second Manchester store, and this time, they’re taking on the Trafford Centre.
Packed full of cult Korean beauty products including skincare and make-up, Pureseoul had an impressive launch into the city with its Arndale opening last year.
Anyone with a passing interest in skincare and beauty knows that no one makes products quite like Korea.
From facemasks and serums to lip tints and eyeshadow palettes, Pureseoul is a haven for all things beauty.
And following its northern debut last year, the beauty retailer is now setting its sights on an ‘even bigger’ base for us.
Pureseoul has confirmed it’s taken on a unit at the Trafford Centre in Manchester, which will be its 11th in the UK.
Co-founder Gracie Tullio said: “This isn’t just another Manchester store.

“Our northern community is incredibly loyal and engaged. Arndale brought the bright energy of the city – students, young professionals, Gen-Z K-Beauty lovers.
“Trafford Centre offers an opportunity for something different: families, day-trippers, weekend explorers, with time to dwell and explore our curations.
“We’ve always known there were thousands more fans we hadn’t been able to reach – until now!”

Simon Layton, Centre Director at Trafford Centre, said: “We’re really excited to welcome PURESEOUL to Trafford Centre – it’s a fantastic addition to our ever-growing beauty offering.
“We’re seeing a real boom in the beauty sector at the centre, with more and more visitors coming to us as a one-stop destination for all things beauty.
“As the top-rated Korean beauty brand in the UK, with a hugely popular following, PURESEOUL brings something fresh and exciting to that mix, which we’re sure will really resonate with our visitors.”
