Away from London, TOP Shop will be opening its biggest store at the hottest point of the £150m Arndale Centre extension, Manchester City Centre.
Spanish fashion label Bershka will also put up its first store outside the capital London.
Fashion Chain Top Shop will grab 45,000 square feet and Bershka 8,000 square feet. New mall links Exchange Court, habitat to Next and River Island, with the Wintergreen, also scheduled to open in September.
Original Shoe, Monsoon, Dune, Claire's, Quiz, Jane Norman are other private fashionable labels are likely to open on the Bank.
Gateway Bershka founded in 1998 is a specialist in fashion for women aged 15 to 27.
It has previously represented in fashion hotspots Milan, Barcelona, Paris and Amsterdam.
With the opening of the Transport Interchange at Shudehill and opening of a new entrance to the Arndale via Withy Grove, one can expect this to become fashion gateway to the centre.
Jon Weymouth, development director for Prudential Property Investment Managers, said, "Manchester Arndale is really taking shape and we're very close to achieving our aim of ensuring that the centre offers world-class shopping facilities."
With the fractional pulling down of the northern part of the centre, as well as the old bus station, work on Arndale's redevelopment began in September 2003.
