James Air, director of group acquisitions at JD Sports, said: “This new store at Trafford Centre is a true statement of intent. It’s our biggest, boldest space to date – and it’s happening in the city where our journey began.
“This is JD at its very best: fashion-forward, community-focused, and pushing the boundaries of retail. And JD’s opening at Trafford Centre isn’t just about creating a dynamic new shopping destination – it also brings new jobs to the area, reinforcing the brand’s ongoing investment in the local communities it serves, which is at the heart of JD’s mission.”
The official opening of the store was attended by Olympic record breaker Usain Bolt, who challenged fans to beat his speed.
