World-famous toy shop Hamleys has opened in Liverpool for the first time, despite the difficulties facing high street retailers.<\/p>\n

It has moved into a 2,000 sq ft pop-up store at 101 Paradise Street, in Liverpool ONE. It is Hamleys\u2019 186th bricks-and-mortar around the world \u2013 and its first pop-up store \u2013 and will add to the 10m families it attracts to its shops each year.<\/p>\n

Alison Clegg, asset management director at Liverpool ONE owner Grosvenor Europe, said: \u201cThe star appeal, calibre and experience of Hamleys will add a new dimension to Paradise Street and to our wider retail offering, which has thrived since reopening in June.<\/p>\n

\u201cHamleys is an exciting addition for the destination as we continue to drive Liverpool ONE\u2019s momentum towards Christmas.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new Hamleys store joins a string of newly opened retailers at Liverpool ONE, including beauty brand M\u00b7A\u00b7C Cosmetics and British sportswear label Castore.<\/p>\n

CBRE and Metis acted for Liverpool ONE in the deal, while CBRE also acted for Hamleys.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The first UK store for lifestyle brand Cruyff will open in Manchester’s Arndale Centre.<\/p>\n

The retailer was created by Dutch footballer Johan Cruyff 40 years ago, originally providing footwear for footballers before evolving into a clothing and lifestyle brand.<\/p>\n

It has agreed a deal for a 2,000 sq ft unit.<\/p>\n

Colin Flinn, regional managing director at intu, said: “We\u2019re thrilled to welcome Cruyff \u2013the brand\u2019s choice to open its first-ever UK store at the centre is testament to Manchester\u2019s position at the forefront of UK urban culture, sport and fashion, as well as the continued popularity of Manchester Arndale.”<\/p>\n

Stamford House, Altrincham<\/p><\/div>\n

Asian cabinet manufacturer OPPEIN is launching a store in Altrincham and plans to open by the end of November.<\/p>\n

It has taken a 10-year lease for the 2,484 sq ft former Magnet retail outlet on Stamford New Road.<\/p>\n

Daniel Lee, director at Regional Property Solutions, who acted for the landlord, Pervaiz Naviede Family Trust, said: \u201cThis letting to OPPEIN and the recently opened Your Green & Co within Stamford House were agreed pre lockdown and completed after the retail restrictions lifted and reflect the strength of Altrincham town centre.<\/p>\n

“The doom and gloom surrounding the retail market is not universal as I am aware other suburban centres are benefitting from improved demand and take-up indicating a desire to shop local rather than city centre given the current circumstances.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
