Utility To Open A Second Gift Store In Manchester

As Utility celebrates its 25th birthday this month, the design-led gift retailer has confirmed the imminent opening of its newest gift store in Manchester, a sister gift shop to their store on Manchester’s Oxford Road.

The retailer’s fourth shop is located at 46 Cross Street, with the latest addition marking an exciting milestone for the company as it continues to expand across the North West.

“The new shop will open its doors on Monday 2 December, with the 800-square-foot store showcasing the best of our gifts, greetings cards, homeware & fashion accessories, just in time for the festive shopping season,” says Utility co-founder and director Kate Cowie.

Utility’s other gift shops are located in Liverpool and Altrincham.

Earlier this year, Utility was among the finalists shortlisted in The Greats 2024’s Best Specialist Multiple Retailer Of Gifts category.
