<a href="https://completelyretail.co.uk/scheme/manchester-arndale-shopping-centre-manchester-3676">Manchester Arndale</a> has signed an agreement with Kuoni Travel which will see the premium holiday operator open at the shopping centre.



The new location sees Kuoni relocated from its existing <a href="https://completelyretail.co.uk/shops-to-rent/manchester">Manchester</a> branch on King Street, and will enable customers to discuss travel plans with Kuoni's team over a glass of champagne.



The company sells a wide-range of holidays such as family holidays, safaris, honeymoons, cruises, and city breaks.



The letting comes as Manchester Arndale's asset managers, M&amp;G Real Estate and Global Mutual, look to diversify the range of occupiers at the scheme. Over the last 12 months, a number of high profile lettings have seen the centre's footfall increase by 6.3%, with over 46 million people visiting Manchester Arndale and New Cathedral Street during 2023, as occupancy reached over 95%.



Scott Linard, portfolio director for M&amp;G Real Estate, said: “It is great to welcome Kuoni to Manchester Arndale as we look to ensure we continue to offer a diverse range of retail, leisure, and eateries to help attract visitors from the North West and beyond. Our wide variety of brands and strong footfall is ensuring we continue to attract leading occupiers to Manchester Arndale, and we hope to announce further big names in the coming months.”



Donna Hynes, retail director, Kuoni said: “We’ve got a loyal customer base in Manchester, and we want to continue to look after our repeat clients as well as appeal to new ones.   This is a superb location to keep our brand visible, to continue to offer great service and our team of friendly and well-travelled experts are looking forward to being part of the shopping centre.”



Metis Real Estate and Time Retail Partners are Manchester Arndale's retained letting agents, with Green &amp; Partners retained as lease advisory agents.

The brand, which launched their first Manchester site in Trafford Palazzo last summer, signed a deal to occupy a previously vacant unit, creating a second home for ‘The Crown Jewels of Bowling’ in the city centre. 



The second King Pins site will boast a variety of activities for all ages, including its signature state-of-the-art ten-pin and duck-pin bowling, karaoke party rooms, arcade games, American pool, shuffleboard, batting cages and ice-free curling, as well as King Pins debuts for mini golf, tech darts and Wild West Shooting at the new location.



James Travis, brand manager at King Pins, said, “We can hardly contain our excitement as the opening date draws nearer for our second site! To be joining over 200 brands in one of the UK’s leading shopping and leisure destinations, Manchester Arndale, is an honour. Our second home will still feature our signature ten-pin and duck-pin bowling offering that we know our guests have come to love, alongside a range of new activities such as tech darts and mini-golf. We’re also really pleased to announce our friends PLY and Wings of Power will be joining us once again to serve up more delicious grub in the new site. See you in May!”

Revised plans for the redevelopment of <a href="https://completelyretail.co.uk/shops-to-rent/salford">Salford's</a> <a href="https://completelyretail.co.uk/shops-to-rent/salford">MediaCity</a> scheme to create an additional 800,000 sq ft of commercial space and 3,200 more homes have been approved by councillors.



In 2016, proposals were approved to create 555,000 sq ft of offices and 1,800 homes at MediaCity, some of which have already been delivered. The revised plans see a net increase of 2,000 homes and 375,000 sq ft of commercial space.



MediaCity is home to some of the UK’s most renowned content and technology companies including BBC, ITV, and Satellite Information Services, as well as 80,000 sq ft of retail and leisure space.



The 53-acre site also accommodates 1.4 million sq ft of offices and over 1,100 homes. 



Stephen Wild, MediaCity managing director, said: “The re-shaped regeneration proposals will support us in delivering a world-class destination where people will want to live, work and learn for many years to come.



“As the home of future media, MediaCity’s output is global and its environment needs to reflect its international significance. While the waterfront is the gateway to MediaCity and the Quays, it’s right that it should compete with some of the finest waterfront destinations in the world.”



Scheme owners Landsec and Peel said the plans for the next chapter of MediaCity are inspired by the waterfronts of Oslo and Sydney.



Mike Hood, chief executive of LandsecU+I, added: “Since its inception, MediaCity has been at the forefront of creativity. These proposals give us the opportunity to take the next step with its evolution, as we continue to focus on how MediaCity can showcase the future of entertainment, living, experience and innovation.”
