DENIS HOPE
Menswear are
moving to Norden!
After almost 60 years in Rochdale Town
Centre, DENIS HOPE are closing their Drake
street store and moving to Norden village.
Founded by Denis Hope in 1959, the shop size more than tripled over the first 15 years,
allowing Denis to showcase an array of new and exciting labels, many of which were sourced
from all over Europe. There was the introduction of a formal hire department, soon followed by
a ladies department. Denis always believed in providing the best experience to customers. If
you have shopped in any of their stores you will know that impeccable customer service is still
instilled in the team today. It is this ethos, coupled with exceptional quality
clothing that sees generations of the same families still
shopping in the store today.
The store now in the hands of Michael, Denis’ son, has expanded
further over the last few years. HOPE Menswear was opened in
Clitheroe 7 years ago, with a ladies department added in August
2017. And there is the beautiful HOPE Womenswear store, now in
its 3rd year in Norden.
While all 3 stores continue to prosper the decline of Drake Street
has led to the decision to leave the town centre after 59 years.
The move, headed by Oliver Hope, Denis’ grandson, is already proving a massive hit with
existing customers and the locals of Norden village, and they’ve not even opened yet!! The store
will occupy no 794 Edenfield Rd, 3 doors down from HOPE Womenswear, and is set to open in
September 2018. Once opened customers will find new and exciting labels from throughout
Europe, mixed with well known brands like TED BAKER, BARBOUR,
and the largest HUGO BOSS collection outside of Manchester.
Oliver said “We are really excited about the move! We feel
new customers will be surprised as to how much choice
we have, not only on formal tailoring, which we are
famous for locally, but the casual side of things too.”
The hire department will also move to the Norden
store, with a separate entrance to the hire showroom
at 796b Edenfield Rd. The in house alteration service
is offered on all garments bought, meaning no
matter your shape or size HOPE have you covered.
September bodes to be an
exciting chapter not only for
DENIS HOPE but also for Norden itself.
