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 City Council
produces an annual monitoring report of Retail and Leisure Developments.
