Wahaca appoints agents to support UK expansion

P-Three has been appointed by contemporary Mexican restaurant group Wahaca to support its rollout across the UK.

The retail, leisure, and placemaking agency is targeting launches in new cities including Cambridge, Manchester, Glasgow and Birmingham, as well as expanding the group’s presence in London.

P-Three is seeking units ranging between 2,500 sq ft and 4,500 sq ft in size, which will be converted into Wahaca’s style, inspired by the modern culture seen in contemporary Oaxaca.

Thomas Rose, co-founder at P-Three, said: “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 and chair 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.”
