Sheffield-based coffee and brunch spot HYGGE has signed for a 2,000 sq ft unit at the Merrion Centre in Leeds.
Located on Woodhouse Lane, the venue will be the brand’s fourth site and its first outside Sheffield.
The venue will offer the brand’s selection of artisan coffees, freshly baked cakes, pastries and toasties, alongside brunch dishes, salads and seasonal specials.
Alex Moore, owner of HYGGE, said: “We’re incredibly excited to be bringing HYGGE to Leeds for the very first time. We’ve built a loyal following in Sheffield, and when the opportunity came up to open in such a prominent location at the Merrion Centre, we knew it was the perfect fit. Our aim has always been to create spaces where people can slow down, relax, and enjoy great food and coffee – and we can’t wait to welcome our new Leeds customers into the HYGGE family.”
Charles Newman, associate director, estates for Town Centre Securities, owner of the Merrion Centre, added: “HYGGE is a fantastic addition to our Woodhouse Lane line-up and to the city’s food and drink scene. We’re confident their distinctive offering will be a big hit with visitors, students, and local workers alike. This is another exciting step in our ongoing strategy to enhance the Merrion Centre’s mix of unique, high quality operators.”
