The current Apple Trafford Center, which is due to close at the end of February 26, 2025
For its 20th anniversary, Apple Trafford Center is to close down and reopen in a larger and more prominent part of the same mall.
Following a similar October 2024 move for Apple Belfast in Northern Ireland, Apple has confirmed that it is relocating and expanding its Manchester Apple Trafford Center store. While Apple has not detailed where in the center it will be moving, it has revealed when it will be happening.
The current Apple Trafford Center will begin its move starting on Monday, February 24, 2025, when staff will close the store at 8pm local time instead of the regular 10pm. That will continue on the Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, when the store will close permanently.
It will then open in its new location within the Trafford Center starting on March 1, 2025. Apple hasn’t unveiled the new store, but local reports and Trafford Council filings suggest it is taking over the space from defunct women’s fashion brand, Dorothy Perkins.
Apple Trafford Center was originally opened in the center on November 19, 2005 and then moved on November 26, 2010. It currently occupies a first floor almost boutique-sized space, between Victoria’s Secret and Abercrombie & Fitch stores.
The Apple Trafford Center is one of two Apple Stores in Manchester, England. The other is the Apple Manchester Arndale store, opened in 2006, which is around six miles from the Trafford Center.
