CONFIDENTIAL has just had word of some interesting movement on King Street – and we’re not talking the hypnotising sway of a herd of hanging Christmas willow reindeer.
Intriguing stuff, and yet more good news for Manchester’s King Street...
A licence notice has just gone up in the window of 20-22 King Street – last occupied by ill-fated fine-dining restaurant Quill, which closed in June.
The application comes from Aria Leisure, a newly founded firm comprised of former Allied London commercial director, Andrea George, Fazenda co-founder Terence Langley, and Leeds-based entrepreneur James Coubrough.
Confidential had a brief word with George, who confirmed plans to launch a new restaurant at the site, however, due to various pending decisions, could give little more away at this time.
She could however tell us that they've secured their chef and nailed down the concept.
Intriguing stuff, and yet more good news for Manchester’s King Street, which, following a spate of store closures in recent years, has seen confidence return with openings including award-winning tapas restaurant, El Gato Negro, luxury skincare brand Kiehl’s, and two new bars, Wood & Co. and Arcane, nearby on South King Street.
Further up the street, Living Ventures continue work to convert the old Grade II-listed Reform Club at 81 King Street into Grand Pacific - due to open in Spring 2017.
More details will be revealed about the new restaurant via Confidential before the year is through.
