British Land and London & Stamford have signed Carluccio’s for a restaurant at their Meadowhall shopping centre in Sheffield.
Carluccio's is to open a 3,600 sq ft restaurant on the upper level of the new Oasis Dining Quarter paying an undisclosed rent.
Carluccio's will join ChaoBaby, Las Iguanas, Café Rouge, Wagamama, Giraffe, PizzaExpress, Zizzi, Frankie and Benny’s, YO! Sushi and TGI Friday's to complete the line up of dining brands.
Claire Barber, senior asset manager for British Land, said: “As well as a number of significant additions to the retail line up over the last 12 months, Meadowhall’s dining offer has been transformed and Carluccio’s is the final piece in the £7 million Oasis Dining Quarter redevelopment.
“Customers now have even more choice, we have created a new high quality destination and the impact of this proactive asset management has been immediate, with dwell times, retail and catering spend per head all increasing.”
Simon Kossoff, CEO of Carluccio’s, added: “We are pleased to have secured a presence at Meadowhall. The combination of high footfall and customer profile mean that that our all day dining concept should be well received”.
The redevelopment of Meadowhall's food court has created two distinct dining areas. The upper level provides a comprehensive casual dining offer whilst the lower level focuses on kiosk operators centred around communal seating in a high quality environment.
Davis Coffer Lyons, Smith Young and CBRE represented Meadowhall.
