Manchester Airport is continuing its tradition of helping local retailers and up-and-coming brands reach millions of passengers from all around the world with two new launches.
The Sculpts, a design business started by a Mancunian couple during the pandemic, marks a huge milestone today, with the opening of a dedicated store in Manchester Airport’s Terminal 1.
Hot on the heels of The Sculpts, Pasta Evangelists is to open its first airport branch in Terminal 2 this autumn. The brand already has a large following on social media – but the Manchester branch will only be their third in the UK and the first outside London.
“There’s no place better to reach a global audience than here at the UK’s global gateway in the North and 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.” Richard Jackson – Retail Director, Manchester Airport
Pasta Evangelists was founded by Genoa-born Alessandro Savelli in 2016 who was on a mission to bring his family’s cooking to a UK audience. Its third restaurant will open in Manchester Airport in the autumn and will, for the first time, introduce customers to the Pasta Evangelists’ Italian breakfast offering, which is set to be rolled out to other locations in the future.
“We are thrilled to launch our first airport outlet at Manchester Airport. It is a very exciting time to see the rapid growth of the Pasta Evangelists brand as it continues to reach new consumers”. Alessandro Savelli – Founder of Pasta Evangelists
