Filipino street food operator Filishack is set to open its second permanent location at Lendlease’s Elephant Park in London.
The brand, which was launched by brothers Jonathan and Justice Cacho in 2014, opened its first bricks-and-mortar site in Peckham and has signed for 611 sq ft on Sayer Street at Elephant Park. The restaurant will open in January.
Guy Thomas, head of retail and place assets at Lendlease, said: “When choosing brands to take space within Elephant Park, we are always on the lookout for London heroes and concepts that match the neighbourhood feel we have curated. Filishack is a vibrant brand that is both a South London community favourite and an independent business with a unique local identity.
“We designed our leasing plan to help emerging brands benefit from the affordable and accessible retail opportunities available, and we are sure Filishack will be another strong addition to the mix of businesses on Sayer Street.”
Jonathan Cacho added: “To be opening our second Filishack location at the beginning of a year that marks the brand’s 10-year anniversary is a milestone moment for us and we can’t wait to open our doors on Sayer Street. A lot of time went into finding the perfect spot for our next site, and with its focus on independents, local businesses and second-to-none community feel, Elephant Park is the ideal location for us.”
