Our prayers have been answered.

Shoppers’ prayers have been answered – The Trafford Centre is finally getting an Urban Outfitters.

Despite being a staple retailer on the high street, there’s never been an Urban Outfitters at the iconic shopping centre before.

Instead, fans have had to rely on the huge three-storey store on Market Street in the city centre.

The American brand is famed for its trend-led fashion pieces, vintage and retro items, and its homeware and lifestyle pieces.

Urban Outfitters typically have thrift-shop-inspired interiors too, with industrial fixtures and custom-made display units.

And now, all that looks set to open in The Trafford Centre soon, with huge hoardings now up for a unit on the first floor, right next to John Lewis.

It follows a busy summer of openings at the major shopping centre, which have included a supersized Zara concept store and neighbouring new openings for Pull & Bear and Bershka.

Viral toy retailer Pop Mart, home of the Labubus, has also recently opened its doors there.

There’s also a new-look section of the food court, home to a Hello Oriental, Chit n Chaat, Blanchflower and more.

And across the way at Trafford Palazzo is that massive new Primark Home, the first in Great Britain.

Shoppers have been begging for an Urban Outfitters to open at The Trafford Centre for more than a decade.

Tweets going back as far as 2010 say things like: “Do I need to start a petition for Urban Outfitters to open at the Trafford centre?”

Another person wrote: “trafford centre just needs to grow up and put an urban outfitters in it”

And someone else said: “Where in Trafford centre is urban fking outfitters?!”

An opening date hasn’t yet been announced, but watch this space.
