Giftware, partyware and greeting cards wholesaler Tiger Feet is relocating its Manchester branch to a new flagship warehouse at Lowry Park, which opens on Sunday (April 26). Its Prelude House warehouse closed on April 19, with the company stating that the new site marks a significant milestone for the business, moving from a traditional storage-first warehouse to a customer-first environment.
The new 39,613 sq ft premises at Unit 7, Lowry Park on Grimshaw Lane in Manchester (M40 2BA) is designed to inspire, placing the customer journey at the forefront.
From a dedicated Party Supplies Zone and quick-pay lanes at the tills, to a refreshment area and EV charging in the car park, the space has been designed to make every visit an experience.
Tiger Feet head of commercial Joanna Formby said: “Tiger Feet is evolving. Our new home at Lowry Park isn’t just a relocation; it’s the creation of our Manchester flagship. We’ve moved away from the traditional warehouse model to create a curated, high-energy destination designed specifically for our customers. We have kept the best bits, including our extensive card and gift bag range, while introducing an intuitive layout and atmosphere that finally matches the vibrancy of the products we sell.
“At Tiger Feet, we believe shopping should be a great experience. Whether you’re popping in for a quick pick-up or spending the morning planning a major event, the flagship has been built to make that easy and inspiring, transforming a simple transaction into a social visit. There’s a dedicated seating and refreshment area for customers who have travelled from across the region, a quick lane at the tills for those in a hurry, and a Party Supplies Zone that makes visualising your event effortless.”
The new flagship stocks Tiger Feet’s full product range across giftware, greeting cards, balloons, partyware, giftwrap and stationery, serving wholesale customers across the region. Until it opens, Manchester customers can shop online to get their stock delivered, or visit Tiger Feet’s Bradford branch at 12 Roydsdale Way in Bradford.
Joanna added: “Our Manchester branch has always been the heart of Tiger Feet, but our new Lowry Park flagship is its soul. We’ve moved beyond the stacks and aisles to create a space that feels like a celebration. We haven’t just changed our address; we’ve elevated our entire experience for the people of Manchester.
“Join us from Sunday (April 26) to experience the Tiger Feet flagship for yourself. We’ve even hidden a few surprises for our first visitors – we can’t wait to welcome our Manchester customers through the doors.”
