Ever wondered where the NUMBER ONE Place for all things Manchester is?!

We're at the front of Afflecks Manchester of course!🐝 We're open 7 days a week and was created from the love of bees, Britpop and chip butties. We wanted to create a brand that spoke to all Mancunians, whether you were born and bred in Oldham (and so was yer mam) or you came here for uni and liked it so much you stayed.

We went from selling our worker bee t-shirts in the corner of our sister shop Luna Afflecks, to market stalls to opening the Oldham Street shop in 2017!

We're Manc and we're proud. We're most proud our passion as a business to support our local community, we've raised over £68k for the charities that mean the most to us over the years and as our business has grown have managed to provide lots of job opportunities for locals.

Can't make it down to the shop? Don't worry you can also shop online! 💻 https://bit.ly/48VGLia
