Further plans for Manchester Airport’s new-look Terminal 2 have been revealed.
The first phase of the £1.3bn project was completed in 2021, and featured a number of local brands including fast-food restaurant Archies, San Carlo, Pot Kettle Black and brewpubs by Joseph Holt and Se7en Brothers.
Now, bosses have confirmed that the next and final stage will include almost two dozen new shops, restaurants and bars opening to passengers for next summer.
Amongst the plans is The Great Northern Market — a 472-seat food hall ‘bringing the best of Manchester’s street food scene’ to the airport, featuring six international street food kitchens including a Gooey desserts unit.
New cafes, bars and restaurants, include a Fever-Tree cocktail bar, JD Wetherspoon, Joe And The Juice and Greggs, plus an extension to the Amber Alehouse by Salford brewery Seven Bro7hers.
For pre-holiday shopping, there will be a handful of new retailers including Chanel, Pandora, LEGO, WHSmith and Boots. There will also be a new 2,165 sqm World Duty Free store featuring brands like Christian Dior, Gucci, YSL and Charlotte Tilbury and more.
Chris Woodroofe, Managing Director at Manchester Airport said: “We are really proud to connect the North to the world – and now through our brand new Terminal 2 we’re able to do that in a setting that rivals any airport in any major capital city.
“The new shops, bars and restaurants we’re adding in the second phase of the development of Terminal 2 will really elevate the experience and help people feel like they’re starting their holidays at the airport.
“Whatever your budget and preferences, you’ll be able to find something to your tastes in Terminal 2.
“Not only that, you’ll also be able to enjoy modern, world-class facilities and one of Europe’s most extensive route networks – so wherever you’re travelling, you’ll be able to start your trip in style.”
The second phase of the Terminal 2 project will be finished by the summer of 2025.
