HARIBO UK to open brand-new store in Manchester in time for Christmas
HARIBO UK’s 13th location is officially set to open at Manchester’s iconic Trafford Centre on 5th December.
On the 5th of December at 10am the latest HARIBO location will open its doors to welcome excited shoppers to a brand-new store at Manchester’s iconic Trafford Centre. Marking our 13th retail location in the UK, the store opening is perfectly timed for Christmas shoppers seeking sweet treats and gifts for loved ones. Not wanting to miss out on the fun, our iconic mascot, Goldbear, will join the celebrations to take part in the ribbon cutting ceremony! Other activities shoppers can expect include free goody bags for the first 75 customers who buy themselves a festive treat in time for this merry season. Throughout the first week, lucky HARIBO fans will also be selected to receive random goodies to celebrate the store opening!
Manchester fans will get to experience moments of childlike happiness at the city’s sweetest destination for treats and gifts! Kids and grown-ups will have the chance to explore the new store. It features classics like Starmix and Tangfastics, plus new favourites like Nostalgix. The store also offers a wide array of our halal, vegan, and reduced-sugar products, as well as exciting international varieties. Interactive features include our fan favourite 'Pick your Mix' station with over 40 different products to choose from. On top of this, shoppers can browse exclusive gifts and merchandise. For the festive season, popular Christmas treats like Merry Mix and Elf Surprises will be available, along with other stocking fillers.
This is the 3rd HARIBO UK retail opening this year and marks another exciting milestone in its ever-expanding retail presence across the country. From the opening of the most northern HARIBO store in the world in Glasgow in September to the opening of HARIBO Bluewater in Kent earlier this year, there is plenty for HARIBO fans across the country to be excited about.
Rebecca Fox, Head of Retail at HARIBO UK said:
“We can’t wait to welcome Trafford Centre shoppers to our latest HARIBO store just in time for the festive period. The Christmas season brings a feeling of magic and excitement, that we want to share with both local fans and those travelling to this world-renowned location. We want anyone walking into this new store to be taken back to the nostalgic feeling of stepping into a sweets shop for the first time and to enjoy some moments of childlike happiness together with each other and our team throughout this festive season and beyond!”
Simon Layton, Centre Director at Trafford Centre, added:
