Swarovski
Back in 2020 Swarovski closed its Liverpool ONE store, which made way for famous makeup brand MAC to open up shop.
However, shoppers were assured that Swarovski was not gone for good, but rather moving to a new location within the shopping centre on South John Street.
A note on the Liverpool ONE website says: “Please note, the Swarovski store will be opening soon in its new location at South John Street in Liverpool ONE.”
