Now that many UK stores have reopened, athleisure brand Gym+Coffee, is continuing its drive into the British market with the opening of its second retail store outside of Ireland. Following an earlier debut at Westfield London in 2020, it’s opening in The Trafford Centre in Manchester on April 17. 

The “interactive Clubhouse” is the seventh store overall for the four-year-old brand.

The 140-square-metre store created 10 jobs and features an interactive football display among its athleisure and activewear. It will offer the full range, including sustainable garments made from up to 100% recycled polyester and the latest Connect Collectionfor SS21.

The store will also have a community wall showcasing user generated content from brand fans wearing pieces from the label. 

The omnichannel company said the in-store retail experience for Gym+Coffee “is a cornerstone of the community, offering more than just a place to buy clothing, but as a hub for the community to meet, get to know the team and participate in events when it is safe to do so”.

Co-Founder Diarmuid McSweeney said the new location “is a huge milestone for us as a business and as a community. We have a big focus on our international growth this year and beyond.”
