Manchester Airport will be opening 22 new shops, restaurants and bars next summer, as it completes the second and final phase of its £1.3bn Terminal 2 transformation.
The line-up of food and beverage outlets will include The Great Northern Market, a new JD Wetherspoon pub, a Joe and the Juice and Greggs, as well as an extension to the Amber Alehouse by Salford brewery Seven Brothers.
A 472-seat food hall, The Great Northern Market features six international street food kitchens including a gooey desserts unit.
According to the airport, the new outlets aim to showcase “the best of the North” through design and the range of products on offer.
The first phase of the airport’s Terminal 2 opened in 2021 and features local brands like fast-food restaurant Archies, pizza favourites San Carlo, cafe chain Pot Kettle Black and brewpubs by Joseph Holt and Seven Brothers – as well as Pret A Manger, M&S Food and Starbucks.
The second phase of the project will be finished by summer 2025.
Chris Woodroofe, MD of Manchester Airport, said: “We are really proud to connect the North to the world – and now through our brand new Terminal 2 we’re able to do that in a setting that rivals any airport in any major capital city.
“The new shops, bars and restaurants we’re adding in the second phase of the development of Terminal 2 will really elevate the experience and help people feel like they’re starting their holidays at the airport.”
He added: “Whatever your budget and preferences, you’ll be able to find something to your tastes in Terminal 2. Not only that, you’ll also be able to enjoy modern, world-class facilities and one of Europe’s most extensive route networks – so wherever you’re travelling, you’ll be able to start your trip in style.”
