The first UK location for Patagonia will be located at 51 King Street, and spread over three two floors. It will become the eight European location for the brand.

“We’re excited to open our first UK store in Manchester, which we see as a progressive city where design, creativity, entrepreneurship and innovation mix.  As a gateway to climbing, hiking and trail running in the Peak District and surrounding areas, we would like the store to become a hub for both local outdoor sports and environmental communities,” said Ryan Gellert, general manager, EMEA at Patagonia.

“Patagonia’s plans for 51 King Street encompass a blended approach of retail and other in store experiences which is in line with the expectations of many modern consumers.  The brand has an excellent reputation worldwide and we believe Manchester is well-placed for its entrance to the UK market,” added John Agnew, retail director at Savills.

In February 2016, Patagonia relocated its UK headquarters from London to Manchester, following the closure of its Covent Garden flagship store in 2014.
