Braehead, one of the UK’s most popular retail and leisure destinations, owned by property company SGS and managed by Global Mutual, is pleased to announce the expansion of its F&B offer with the opening of Chopstix, closely following the addition of Tinderbox.
Chopstix opened its doors yesterday. The popular noodle bar has stores across the UK and Ireland and now occupies a 1,318sq ft unit located in the upper food mall. The store offers Pan-Asian quick-service food.
Tinderbox, which opened its doors in December, is one of Glasgow’s best loved independent coffee shops, founded locally in 1998. The espresso bar is situated on the lower-level food mall, covering 2,731 sq ft. Visitors can enjoy high quality hand-roasted coffee, as well as a number of locally sourced and made products.
The two additions join a strong existing F&B line-up at the centre, including Five Guys, Nandos, YO! Sushi, Costa, Pizza Hut and Prezzo .
Braehead is a leading retail and leisure destination situated just outside of Glasgow, covering 1.1 million sq ft and drawing from a catchment of approximately 2.1 million. The centre is home to a diverse mix of brands – including many renowned household names, such as M&S, Apple, Primark, TK Maxx and NEXT – as well as a host of exciting local and independent brands.
Steve Gray, head of European retail asset management at Global Mutual, comments: “We are constantly looking at ways to keep our F&B offer fresh and exciting for our guests – so we are delighted to welcome Chopstix and Tinderbox to the centre.
“Tinderbox is a hugely popular outfit and a great addition – a local business, selling local goods. Chopstix, meanwhile, brings something new, increasing variety in terms of quick dining options. We know shoppers are excited to see both open their doors.
“More than ever, retail is about the experience. Guests visit us not just to shop – but for a ‘day out’. A compelling F&B offer is therefore a real footfall driver.”
