French Connection has unveiled its new Manchester flagship amid plans to open five new stores in 2024.

Premium women's and menswear brand French Connection is set to return to Manchester with a new 1,700 sq ft standalone store in time for the peak trading period.

Following sluggish summer trading, retailers are entering the "golden quarter" with caution as unseasonable weather, inflation and interest rate rises continue to wreak havoc with shopping habits.

French Connection opened a store at the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet York on 21 August.

French Connection will open a 1,766 sq ft store at The O2 arena within the Outlet Shopping at The O2, Drapers can reveal.

Luxury retailers Selfridges, Liberty and End Clothing, premium clothing, accessories and homeware brand French Connection and luxury menswear and womenswear brand Vivienne Westwood are staying closed today as a mark of respect following the death of the Queen yesterday.

The requisite majority of French Connection shareholders have backed a £29m takeover deal to rescue the struggling fashion business.

Losses were reduced and revenue at French Connection increased in the six months to 31 July, as the retailer reduced its overheads.

French Connection has launched a clothing return and recycling programme with online charity shop Thrift+.
