A new Søstrene Grene store is opening later this year in Stockport town centre. 

The Danish retailer is known for its affordable home decor, craft gifts, art supplies, and much more. 

The new store will be based in the former JD Sports unit, which has since relocated to a larger flagship store within the town centre. 

A spokesperson for Merseyway Shopping Centre described it as "a huge win for local shoppers".

Outlining what visitors can expect, they added: "Visitors will be able to experience a signature immersive shopping experience, featuring soft lighting, classical music and a distinctive labyrinth-style layout, designed to surprise and inspire at every turn." 

Søstrene Grene was founded in Denmark in 1973 by Inger Grene and Knud Cresten Vaupell Olsen - its name translates as 'Green Sisters'. 

Now led by Grene's sons, Mikkel and Cresten Grene, the brand continues to grow internationally, while staying true to its family-run roots.

Søstrene Grene Group CEO Mikkel Grene said: "We are looking very much forward to opening our first store in wonderful Stockport. 

"This opening will further solidify our presence in Greater Manchester, where we have many loyal customers. The location in Merseyway Shopping Centre is superb and this new store will be the first in the area to showcase our newest shopping concept where we have worked especially on evoking the visitors' senses. 

"We want our visitors to feel like entering a Søstrene Grene is like taking a break from an often-hectic everyday life and we cannot wait to spread this feeling amongst shoppers in Stockport." 

Cllr Mark Hunter, Leader of Stockport Council, said: "The arrival of Søstrene Grene is a great example of the growing confidence in Stockport. 

@With Stockroom opening at the end of May and more high street names choosing Merseyway, we're building a dynamic mix of retail, leisure and culture that's drawing people in and transforming the town. 

"It's a clear sign that our £1bn regeneration is not only taking shape – it's delivering, creating a vibrant place where people want to shop, visit and spend time."

Victoria Nichol, Merseyway Centre Manager, said: "Søstrene Grene is exactly the kind of brand we're excited to bring to Merseyway - modern, design-led and offering something truly different.

"We're confident their immersive shopping concept and stylish products will be fully embraced by our shoppers and this opening is a real statement to where Stockport is headed and the kind of experiences we want to offer our visitors."
