Gift Indie Utility Expands Its Retail Portfolio

Lifestyle and greeting card retailer Utility is set to open a fourth design-led store at the end of this month, having taken over the former Paperchase unit in Altrincham in Greater Manchester.

The company is also seeking other sites along the M62 corridor, with Utility director Richard Skelton commenting: “This is a fantastic opportunity for us. Altrincham has a thriving town centre, famous for its buzzing market and an exemplary model of urban regeneration.”

He confirmed the new store will be fitted out in keeping with the brand identity it has in its existing Manchester store, as well as in its soon to be relocated new Liverpool One store.

“It will showcase the best of our premium contemporary gifts as well as our unique greeting card range,” added Richard.
