Vegetarian Indian street food brand Shree Krishna Vada Pav (SKVP) has signed for a 2,105 sq ft unit at Manchester Arndale on a 15-year lease for its first location in the North West.
Founded in 2010, SKVP has built a loyal following across the UK for its authentic Mumbai street food experience and operates multiple locations nationwide.
Graeme Jones, executive director for asset management at Sovereign Centros from CBRE, said: “SKVP’s arrival at reinforces Manchester Arndale’s position as the North West’s premier destination for shopping, leisure and dining. This latest addition enhances the already impressive line-up of tenants we have welcomed this year, including Hotel Chocolat, Popeyes UK, Champion, Søstrene Grene, Sephora, Alo Yoga and ProDirect.”
Steve Gray, head of European retail asset management at Global Mutual, added: “We are delighted that SKVP has chosen Manchester Arndale for its first location in the North West. The arrival of the vegetarian street food restaurant further enhances the diversity of our food and beverage offer. Manchester Arndale continues to distinguish itself as a destination where visitors can spend an entire day enjoying a variety of experiences. The ongoing interest from brands like SKVP demonstrate the centre’s sustained appeal to occupiers.”
