You may be familiar with Bershka online or on fashion retailer sites like ASOS, but now Manchester is finally being blessed with its very own Bershka store. The Spanish fashion brand currently has stores in London, Cardiff, Bristol, Brighton, Kent, Birmingham, Sheffield, Liverpool, Glasgow and Edinburgh, but plans have been announced for a Bershka store to open at the Trafford Centre.
Global fashion retail group, Inditex, which also owns brands such as Zara, Pull&Bear, Massimo Dutti, Stradivarius and Oysho, intends to relocate and upsize its Zara and Pull&Bear stores to a new location at Trafford Centre. With this move, it will see the stores take over the former M&S site and will make room for Bershka to join the Greater Manchester shopping centre for the first time.
Expected to open at the end of summer 2025, the three new stores (Bershka, Zara and Pull&Bear) will separately occupy flagship stores on Peel Avenue. Bershka is known for its womenswear, menswear and teen clothing range (BSK), and has had collaborations with the likes of Hello Kitty, Bratz, Dragonball Z and Disney’s Cars.
Simon Layton, Centre Director at Trafford Centre, said: “This exciting new deal with Inditex demonstrates that Trafford Centre is going from strength to strength, and highlights our wider commitment to improving the customer experience for our guests. The addition of Bershka to complement the already hugely popular Zara and Pull&Bear means our guests can enjoy an unrivalled fashion experience on their visit to Trafford Centre.”
Bershka first opened back in 1998 as a new brand of the Inditex group and it now has more than 1,000 stores in over 70 markets.
