Manchester
City Centre is the main shopping centre for the North West.
The prime retailing area is based around the pedestrianised
Market Street and one of Europe's largest shopping malls, the
Arndale Centre. Most
major 'chain stores' are located here.
In a recent study, Manchester was found to be the UK's second
most popular location for retailers outside London; this is
confirmed by the success of the area around Deansgate, King
Street, St Ann's Square and
the Victorian Barton Arcade,
which have brought in top names in high fashion such as Armani,
Boss, Vidal Sassoon, Westwood and DKNY. City Centre shopping
facilities have been targeted for environmental improvements,
and the growth of complimentary businesses, such as café
bars, has further increased attractiveness for shoppers.
Consequently, smaller scale and specialist retail areas around
the core are also flourishing, such as the southern end of Deansgate
and Oldham Street/Tib Street. There is a good choice, however,
of other places to shop. Three large retail parks lie just outside
the city centre, which focus on the sale of bulky goods such
as electrical appliances and toys. Manchester also supports
15 district shopping centres, and 21 local centres (with 25
or more shops), which put essential - and sometimes specialist
- shops within easy reach of all.
Outside of the City Centre is the enormous Trafford
Centre, opened in September 1998, and within easy access
of Manchester by car along the M602 and the M60 motorways -
about 15 minutes drive. This has all shopping facilities as
well as a considerable range of leisure activities all under
one roof, with parking for more than 10,000 vehicles. Manchester

and Leisure Developments. For copies of this, or general retail
