Fashion brand ARNE has announced plans to open its biggest-ever store at Manchester’s Trafford Centre.
Measuring 6,500 sq ft, the new store will be almost twice the size of its flagship store in Liverpool ONE and is expected to open in mid-2027.
The clothing and footwear brand will continue to operate from its current temporary store at the Trafford Centre while work is ongoing.
ARNE was founded by Liverpool brothers Ryan and Reece Broadhurst in 2018, and the pair now have an estimated combined fortune of £110m.
The brothers were included in BusinessCloud’s Founder 250 list, which recognises 250 of the UK’s best founder-led and founder-influenced businesses.
The fashion brand opened its first permanent bricks-and-mortar flagship store in Liverpool ONE last September.

In a post to its 605,000 Instagram followers, the company described the announcement as the ‘biggest step we’ve ever taken as a brand’.
A spokesman for ARNE added: “We could say loads more, but we’ll save it for the grand opening next year.
“Just a huge, huge thank you, whether it’s been an order, support on social media, telling a friend about the brand or visiting one of our stores.
“Thank you from two local brothers, the amazing Team ARNE and in the meantime our temporary store in Trafford Centre will remain open for the foreseeable.”
ARNE’s head office is at Birchwood Park, near Warrington.
