Red Run sprints into Liverpool ONE with signing of flagship store
Grosvenor has announced that women’s active streetwear brand, Red Run, is set to open its flagship store at Liverpool ONE. Trading from 1,400 sq ft on Manesty’s Lane, Red Run Liverpool ONE will open in autumn and stock the brand’s range of versatile, comfortable and high quality active streetwear for women, including exclusive collections and limited edition pieces.
With quality, affordability and sustainability at the core of Red Run’s ethos, the brand’s new flagship store at Liverpool ONE marks an important stage in their journey, allowing them to deliver an enhanced customer experience within a physical format. Red Run Liverpool ONE will host some of the brand’s largest and most in demand collections to date, showcasing their fashion forward, versatile and comfortable clothing, created with the modern woman in mind. Each collection is designed in house by Creative Director, Megan Kimmance and crafted in Europe using the highest quality and carefully sourced, sustainable materials. Exclusive to Liverpool ONE, the flagship will host monthly in-store offerings, VIP events and collaborative activations with likeminded brands, people and business within the city.
Launched during lockdown by a trio of driven women, Red Run has gained a fiercely loyal customer base stretching across the country, with concessions in Harvey Nichols Manchester and Flannels Liverpool, as well as highly successful pop-ups in Leeds and Birmingham. Their decision to consolidate the brand’s presence with a flagship store in Liverpool ONE is a strong marker of confidence in the destination and reaffirms Liverpool ONE’s commitment to supporting and nurturing emerging brands.
Megan Kimmance, Creative Director & Co-Founder at Red Run, commented: “Opening a store in Liverpool ONE, in the city where it all started, is a very humbling yet exciting moment for Red Run. This flagship gives us the opportunity to be even more experimental and showcase our collections alongside our imaginative campaign assets all in one place. It will enable us to bring all elements of the brand to life under one roof, to inspire existing consumer shopping experiences and attract new ones. This store will reflect our brands physical evolution, offering our customers more choice and exclusivity via an immersive shopping experience.
When designing collections, I always have a full provision aesthetic front of mind – this is our key point of difference and allows our new flagship to be a ‘one stop shop’ for shoppers when investing in active streetwear.”
Rob Deacon, Senior Asset Manager at Grosvenor, added: “Red Run is an extremely exciting brand, one which has gathered huge momentum, very quickly and clearly resonates with the Liverpool ONE visitor. To contribute to their evolution and play a part in their next big step within physical retail is an enticing prospect for us and we know the brand will be a huge success at Liverpool ONE.”
