Lego will open in the Trafford Centre shopping center. The approximately 270 square meter store will feature a wide range of the company’s products and Pick a Brick wall and Build Minifigure stations. The company said the store format will include themed events, including free speed-building tournaments for constructors.

It will be the 19th branded store in the Lego chain in the UK. Recently, the Danish brand opened its next store in the famous Battersea Power Station shopping center.

Director of EMEA and regional retail marketing Amy Pearson said: “We’ve been searching for the perfect location to open a second store in Greater Manchester and are thrilled to have found this within Trafford Centre. “The new Lego store will allow builders of all ages to be inspired by the endless play opportunities Lego has to offer.
