Leeds United to launch new official club store in the city centre

Leeds United is opening a brand new retail store in the city centre shopping venue, the Merrion Centre.

The new Official Leeds United Club Store will open at 10am on Monday September 5th and will be the fourth new tenant this year for the Merrion Centre.

The new retail store will stock a wide range of official replica kit, training wear, leisure wear, homeware, baby wear and accessories.

The Merrion Centre is set to kick off the Official Leeds United Club Store with a launch event to be held on Thursday September 8th.

Paul Bell, Leeds United’s executive director, said: “We’ve experienced strong retail sales so far this season with both home and away replica shirts performing really well.

“It’s incredibly important for us to be coming back to the city centre as it will allow many Leeds United fans the opportunity to purchase Official Leeds United merchandise conveniently without the need to make a specific trip to the Elland Road superstore.

“The Merrion Centre and The Arena Quarter are undergoing a huge redevelopment programme and we believe the centre provides a strong retail proposition for the Club away from Elland Road.”

Manager Garry Monk and several first team players from Leeds United meet with fans and sign autographs next Thursday evening in the new store.

Edward Ziff, chairman and chief executive of Town Centre Securities, added: “We work hard to bring Merrion Centre visitors the very best shops, bars and restaurants and to have the only official store in the centre of the city dedicated to Leeds United is a great achievement and testament to the big role the shopping centre plays.

“We are extremely proud to be adding the biggest club in Yorkshire, Leeds United, to our list of tenants. We want to welcome the club to the Merrion Centre in the best way possible and hope lots of fans will visit the store and join us for the official opening next week.”
