Since the pandemic, it has continued to be a focal point for ambitious brands, most recently welcoming Charlotte Tilbury’s first boutique outside London and Gravity’s new flagship entertainment venue. The evolving offer curated at Liverpool ONE has driven sales up 20.9% year-to-date compared to 2019.
