Digital-first fashion retailer Arne has made the great leap from pop-up to permanent, taking space at the popular Liverpool One shopping/entertainment centre.

The Peter’s Lane position follows Arne’s two successful pop-up stores and one interactive activation at the venue in the last three years.
It’s big too, with the minimalist steel-walled, mirrored, and marbled 6,750 sq ft flagship store showcasing the brand’s “fan-favourite, high-quality, minimalistic clothing and footwear” across menswear and womenswear collections.
As an added customer inventive, the space is also home to ‘Arne Bites’, the brand’s in-store ice-cream and bakery concept.
Arne co-founders Ryan and Reece Broadhurst said: “It means so much to us to have finally secured the perfect location in the only city we ever imagined opening our first physical store.
“We wanted to bring something to Liverpool that’s never been done before: a store fit-out of this level, calculated down to the pound per square foot, while keeping our product prices accessible.”
They added: “Our goal is simple, to give you more value than ever before and deliver one of the best shopping experiences you’ve ever had, all whilst having a good chance at being able to afford the products inside the store.”
According to operator Landsec: “Arne’s return to the destination for its debut standalone store highlights the unique appeal of Liverpool One as the natural home for pioneering retail concepts, and its support of brands through short and long-term commercial opportunities”.
Rob Deacon, its Asset Management Director, added: “Arne’s first-ever standalone store reflects a longstanding and successful partnership between [us] and the brand. The latest in a series of digital native brands to commit to Liverpool One, Arne’s permanent store is emblematic of the demand from innovative global retailers looking to capitalise on our second-to-none city centre location, high footfall, and leading reputation.”
Deacon also said that 2025 “continues to be the biggest year of openings since the destination’s launch in 2008. So far, [we have] welcomed 15 brands, spanning over 70,000 sq ft of prime retail and leisure space.”
Other recent openings include TFG London’s 12,000 sq ft multi-brand flagship on South John Street, its biggest in the UK, alongside Liverpool debuts from Uniqlo and Sephora.
