MANCHESTER Airport has welcomed a new shop and a new Italian restaurant is coming next month. The Sculpts, a design business, has opened a gift store, offering a wide range of handmade decorative homeware and souvenirs in Terminal 1. Pasta Evangelists launches its first airport branch in Terminal 2 in September.
Richard Jackson, retail director, Manchester Airport, said: The Sculpts is a remarkable success story and we’re really pleased that they’ve chosen Manchester Airport as the site for what will be just their second dedicated store. “Now visitors to the city will have the chance to grab themselves a unique handmade souvenir here at Manchester Airport. “We’re also incredibly excited to be bringing Pasta Evangelists to the airport.
“I’ve been following their work on social media for a few years so to see them opening here is great. “There’s no place better to reach a global audience than here at the UK’s global gateway in the North. “We’re proud to support all kinds of businesses here, particularly local traders and up-and-coming names so that they can benefit from our reach.
” The Sculpts offer a range of handmade products including greetings cards, prints, textiles, mugs, and the business’ signature ‘alphabet tiles’ – with each letter accompanied by a hand-drawn illustration of a part of Manchester’s heritage, from the Worker Bee to Stephenson’s Rocket and Factory Records. The Sculpts joins a growing list of thriving start-ups that ha.
