Afflecks is reopening today so you can help support local businesses this Christmas

Afflecks is reopening this week with an ‘Afflecks Christmas’, and it’s the perfect place to shop to support independents this festive season.

Swinging open their doors to the public today (Wednesday, December 2nd) at 10:30am, the whole of the eclectic Afflecks family will be trading for Christmas.

There are over 50 local and independent businesses spread across the four floors of the emporium so you can easily support local this Christmas.

Covid-19, as for many, has been very testing for the small creative enterprises scattered across the building. The second forced closure had a huge impact on their business and now the retailers are ready and raring to go. 

Miki Christi, Manager of The Manchester Shop at Afflecks said: “We are SO excited to be opening again, we actually cannot wait to see everyone’s lovely faces.

“It’s a weird Christmas and not the festive season we all know and love but it’s more important than ever I think to give thoughtful, one-of-a-kind gifts and support local, independent businesses. So come and see us and let’s make this an Afflecks Christmas.”

Andrea George, Director of Retail at Bruntwood Works commented: “We’re so pleased that our iconic Afflecks is able to reopen on the 2nd– just in time for Christmas and a crucial trading period for the businesses.

“We are proud to support the whole family of independent enterprises at Afflecks this Christmas, and they’re very looking forward to welcoming customers back!”

Afflecks will open right up until Christmas Eve, operating under Covid-19 safety guidelines seven days a week.
