Following on from opening a new location in Manchester city centre earlier this year, Space NK is set to open a new store in Greater Manchester this September. The beauty retailer which stocks over 130 brands such as Drunk Elephant, Nars, Charlotte Tilbury and Diptyque is opening a new Space NK store inside the UK’s third largest shopping mall, the Trafford Centre.
Opening on September 21 and spanning 2,400 square ft of trading space, the new Trafford Centre store will be a beauty shopping destination, centred around customers’ needs and guided by a team of Space NK experts. Space NK already has a store in St Ann’s Square however the cosmetics retailer has opened a location in Manchester Arndale shopping centre with a Trafford Centre store following closely behind.
Offering a range of products, including skincare, haircare, cosmetics and gadgets, Space NK stocks brands such as Hourglass, JVN Hair, Laura Mercier, Olaplex, Rare Beauty and Tatcha as well as a host of exclusive products such as Boy Smells and Rose Inc. The store will be located on Lower Peel Avenue, and will feature 18 make-up gondolas, more than 300 shelves of the most in demand brands and dedicated areas for customers to try products at their leisure.
Opening the store at 10am on Saturday 21st September, beauty fans are in for a treat as the brand will be giving out exclusive Space NK goody bags filled with items from some of the world’s best beauty brands to the first 300 people to visit. Furthermore, the first 200 shoppers to spend £150 will receive a goody bag worth an incredible £300.
Plus, Space NK branded tote bags will also be handed out, alongside a selection of beauty samples for anyone joining the queue. On September 21 and 22, any customers making a purchase in-store will receive a turn on a Spin to Win wheel, with amazing prizes to be won – including a much-coveted Space NK advent calendar.
DJs will be entertaining shoppers across launch weekend, including DJ Rowan and a set from TikTok sensation the Altego twins. There will also be refreshments, including croissants and cookies, limited to the first customers in the queue.
Founded in 1991, Space NK first opened its doors in London’s Covent Garden in 1993, selling fresh smoothies, independent fashion labels and hard-to-find beauty products from emerging international brands such as Diptyque, By Terry and Nars. In keeping with the most recent store designs from Space NK, the new store will offer customers an immersive way to shop with clear navigation and locations for theatre so customers can identify or find out more about a brand quickly.
