A famous clothing shop now shutters without warning after fifteen years in business, leaving fans in disappointment with its decision.
Fans are devastated after a clothing store founded by a superstar has shut down unexpectedly.
Pretty Green, a menswear brand launched in 2009 by Liam Gallagher of Oasis fame, announced its closure just as news of an Oasis reunion surfaced.
Located on King Street in Manchester, the store featured clothing that embodied the band’s iconic style, including parkas, jackets, and t-shirts adorned with Oasis lyrics.
Despite being acquired by JD Sports in 2019 and then by Frasers Group in 2022, the brand maintained its connection to the Oasis aesthetic, making its closure all the more upsetting for fans.
At its peak, Pretty Green operated 12 standalone stores, but currently, only one remains in Sheffield, with most sales now conducted online.
The brand shared the news of its Manchester store’s closure through an Instagram post, expressing gratitude to supporters and reflecting on the great memories made over the years.
Shoppers quickly voiced their disappointment in the comments. One fan lamented, “Why is it closing? People travel to Manchester just for that shop. I won’t be going all the way to Sheffield for it.”
Another remarked on the timing of the closure, given the renewed interest in Oasis and the Gallagher brothers.
A third user added, “Another one down. Manchester is losing its soul.”
The store was considered a cornerstone of the brand, situated in the city where Oasis was formed and selling a variety of music memorabilia.
Fans had been excited by the recent announcement of the Oasis reunion, with many waiting in long lines and spending significant amounts on tickets.
This closure is not the first challenge for the iconic brand. Gallagher previously sold it to JD Sports after accumulating £18 million in debt.
Many are puzzled as to how the brand faced financial difficulties, especially after initially thriving and attracting celebrity investors, including former Chelsea and England midfielder Joe Cole.
The King Street location, which featured two floors, will no longer offer its signature button-up shirts or host music nights with local performances.
In 2022, film director Charlie Lightening even showcased photos of Liam Gallagher at the store during his Knebworth gig.
In a nod to its 15th anniversary, Pretty Green announced the release of an “Anniversary Paisley” print available on a parka, but customers will have to purchase it online or at the Sheffield store.
The brand concluded its Instagram post with a quote from an Oasis song: “We’ve got a bunch of new things coming though, so stay tuned… #prettygreen #liveforever.”
