The Stretch Station To Open In The Stamford Quarter
Altrincham’s The Stretch Station is set to open a brand new Longevity and Recovery Studio in the Stamford Quarter in Autumn 2026.
We are celebrating the opening of our latest independent retailer Kick Collective, which was part of our successful Pop Up Shop initiative that took place last year!
Located at 20 George Street, the store is owned by local, independent sneaker and streetwear specialist Joe Digby and sells sought-after, exclusive, high-end trainers from brands including Nike, Adidas and Balenciaga and streetwear clothing including Essentials and Broken Planet.
Commentating on the launch, Joe Digby, owner of Kick Collective, said:
“Our Pop Up Shop was a great success and we are delighted to be opening up a permanent store. We are looking forward to welcoming customers old and new on the high street over Christmas and beyond. We have built an even more desirable product range now with lots of sneakers that you won’t find anywhere else. The Stamford Quarter is a fantastic location with a great footfall and vibe and we look forward to being part of this community. “
Kick Collective joins the burgeoning community of independent stores and brands in the Stamford Quarter, where Bruntwood and Trafford Council have supported many local businesses onto the high street as part of their vision to reimagine the town centre.
This includes locally grown boutiques including Skanda Clothing, Altrincham-based jewellery studio Muse and vinyl, coffee and beer specialists Stutter and Twitch, alongside the new Foundation building which will bring a market-leading blend of workspace, retail and leisure to Altrincham.

Altrincham’s retail and leisure destination, the Stamford Quarter, has announced that leading health and beauty retailer Superdrug will be opening a new store in the heart of the town centre. The new store is set to open early summer.
Altrincham's Stamford Quarter finished 2025 in a position few UK town centres can match: near-full occupancy across retail and workspace, and over 4.5 million visitors recorded in 2025 (an increase of 14 per cent on 2024).
