Arc'teryx to debut in Manchester, will be first UK store outside London
Next stop Manchester for Arc'teryx's continued expansion in Europe. The Canadian high-performance outerwear and equipment retailer opens its first brand store in the city on New Cathedral Street on 10 July, becoming its fourth in the UK. Spanning 6,100 sq ft across two floors, the store offers an 'immersive experience', featuring Arc'teryx's core assortment, including Trail and Climb gear, with Snow gear to follow. A curated selection of footwear, packs, and accessories — 'designed with the brand's commitment to performance in the most demanding environments' — is available, along with the brand's harnesses, which can be tried out in-store. The new store also features a dedicated Community Area designed for events, movie nights, and gatherings — 'an extension of Arc'teryx's commitment to fostering a vibrant outdoor culture'. The area will feature a local map, highlighting the best spots for climbing, hiking and trail running in and around Manchester. Visitors can also expect insights from UK athletes and local Ambassadors, sharing their favourite places. As part of the brand's circular initiatives, its ReBird Service Centre will also offer free gear repair, care, and washing services, 'to ensure equipment stays in peak condition season after season'. Sven Radtke, general manager for EMEA, said: 'Manchester is a vibrant urban hub that serves as a launchpad for outdoor enthusiasts. It's proximity to diverse natural landscapes makes it a gateway to the outdoors and a haven for hiking, climbing and other activities. Our goal is to help our core communities get out, doing what they love, equipped with the most high-performance gear to reach their goals.'
