Italian makeup brand KIKO Milano expands UK retail presence as it preps new store opening at Trafford Centre

Retail and leisure destination, Trafford Centre, reports that KIKO Milano, the Italian makeup brand, is set to open a permanent new store this July, marking a significant expansion in the UK market.

KIKO Milano has traded within the Trafford Centre since 2015 and will transition to a 900-square-foot unit on Upper Peel Avenue.

The store’s grand opening is set to take place on 26th July and the opening event on 1st August, complete with giveaways and ‘spin to win’ games.

The brand plans to open several new stores in key shopping districts across the UK this year.

Paul Devlin, Country Manager UK & Ireland Kiko Milano, says: “As we continue our rapid expansion plans across the UK, our new store at The Trafford Centre will mark a significant milestone for us.”

“The Trafford Centre is an iconic and thriving shopping destination and we are excited to expand our presence to the Manchester and wider community amongst the best calibre of brands.”

“We look forward to bringing the KIKO Milano expansive range of high quality cosmetics for everyone and retail theatre to Trafford Centre in July.”

Russell Loveland, Managing Director, Pradera Lateral – Trafford Centre’s Asset Managers, says: “KIKO Milano have been part of the Trafford line up since 2015 which demonstrates the testament to their strong brand appeal and enthusiastic reception from our visitors.”

“We have seen demand for their innovative and high-quality products, which made it clear that going back to an inline unit was the next logical step.”

“This move not only enhances the shopping experience for our guests but also solidifies Trafford Centre's position as a premier destination for top-tier beauty brands.”
