ARNE's retail vision is to redefine what shopping feels like. Every space we create embodies our ‘less is more’ approach, understated yet elevated, blending minimal, high-quality products with a store environment that’s anything but average. We’re challenging the traditional retail model and setting a new standard where exceptional design, accessible pricing and meaningful customer experiences sit side by side.
Following the incredible success of our flagship store at Liverpool ONE, we’re continuing our exciting retail journey with the launch of a brand-new store on New Cathedral Street in the heart of Manchester City Centre.
We are therefore looking for passionate, customer focused individuals to register your interest in joining our Retail Team to help bring this vision to life.
You’ll be the face of ARNE, welcoming customers, sharing our story, and delivering the kind of service and experience which we believe has been missing from the Retail space. If you’re passionate about fashion, enjoy delivering exceptional customer experiences, and want to be part of a brand that’s redefining retail, this is your opportunity to make an impact and help shape the future of ARNE.
Please note, we are planning to open the store in Summer 2026. At this stage, we are inviting candidates to register their interest, and we aim to be in touch with the shortlisted candidates by the end of July to invite you to attend one of our recruitment days.
