A brand new pop-up store bringing a “one-of-a-kind retail experience” has opened at the Arndale shopping centre in Manchester – and it’s perfect for football fans. Following the success of the brand’s London Regent Street and Westfield locations, Fanatics Collectibles has opened a pop-up store in Manchester Arndale this October, giving football fans, families, and collectors a chance to immerse themselves in the booming world of trading cards and memorabilia.
When does the Fanatics Collectibles pop-up open at Manchester Arndale?
The 2,171 sq ft space will be open from Friday 17th October until January 2026 and promises to be the “go-to hub for collectors”. The store will be open Monday–Saturday from 9am to 8pm, and Sundays from 11:30am to 6pm.
What to expect at the Fanatics Collectibles pop-up store
At the Fanatics Collectibles pop-up store in Manchester Arndale, fans can find Premier League and new Match Attax collections – alongside the latest Manchester United and Manchester City club tins. The store will feature key memorabilia from Manchester United and Manchester City on show and trading cards across football, F1, Star Wars and more.
In addition, there will be interactive in-store experiences including card-breaking tables, ‘Take a Card, Leave a Card’ wall, a grabbing machine and a personalised photocard creation booth where you can create your very own Topps photocard. Fanatics Collectibles will also host special events and activations throughout the store’s run.
Paul Gerreli, Retail Marketing Manager at Fanatics Collectibles, said: “Manchester is one of the world’s great football cities, and it feels like the perfect place for our next pop-up. After the incredible response to our London stores, we’re proud to give fans in the North of England a space to experience the thrill of collecting – whether that’s trading cards, memorabilia, or simply enjoying the buzz of the hobby together.”
