Wendy’s opens first West Midlands location at Touchwood Solihull
Wendy’s has opened its first restaurant in the West Midlands at Touchwood Solihull.
The American fast food chain has taken a 15-year lease for a 3,069 sq ft restaurant located within the scheme’s Jubilee Walk dining area.
Wendy’s adds to the existing range of dining and leisure options available at Touchwood, joining Wagamama, Nando’s, and Pizza Express as well as a number of independent restaurants, alongside a Cineworld cinema and competitive socialising operator Spinners.
It joins a retail line-up that includes Apple – which recently more than tripled its presence at the scheme – as well as John Lewis, Mango, Rituals, Tag Heuer, Miele, and Oliver Bonas.
Simon Phipps of Sovereign Centros from CBRE, said: “Our approach focuses on bringing the brands and operators to Touchwood that people want to see, and Wendy’s certainly comes under that banner. This is a major US brand, choosing Touchwood for its only West Midlands restaurant, and we’re excited to see its arrival as part of our wider expansion of the destination’s leisure and dining offer.”
Sovereign Centros from CBRE is the asset manager of Touchwood, while Cushman & Wakefield and Knight Frank are the retained leasing agents.
