P-Three, the retail, leisure and placemaking agency, has been tasked with sourcing new sites for Wahaca, the contemporary Mexican restaurant group, across the UK.
P-Three has been instructed to accelerate the group’s UK expansion and is targeting launches in new cities including Cambridge, Manchester, Glasgow and Birmingham, as well as expanding the group’s presence in London with sites in Marylebone, Baker Street, Victoria, London Bridge and King’s Cross.
P-Three is looking for c. 2,500-4,500sq ft units that will be fitted out in Wahaca’s distinctive, vibrant style inspired by the modern bustling culture seen in contemporary Oaxaca and reflect the team’s deep love of Mexican food and culture.
As the UK’s first carbon-neutral restaurant group and multiple-time winner of the UK’s most sustainable restaurant group, the new sites will continue to push the boundaries of sustainable design and construction, which will complement the group’s environmentally conscious and from-scratch freshly cooked menu.
Thomas Rose, co-founder at P-Three, commented: “Wahaca has firmly established itself as one of the UK’s most authentic and lively restaurant groups, offering diners a bold, fresh and modern take on Mexican street food. A longstanding client of P-Three, we are excited to be supporting Wahaca with this next phase of growth and look forward to helping them bring their concept to new cities and locations across the UK.”
Mark Selby, co-founder & Chairman at Wahaca, added: “After the huge success of our Paddington opening in 2024 and the incredible feedback on Wahaca Reimagined across our 14 individually designed restaurants, we are excited to be once again looking to bring Wahaca’s unique restaurant experience to different areas of the UK. We want to find buildings that lend themselves to our distinctive look and feel and know that P-Three will do an excellent job bringing that vision to life.”
