Fast-growing, QSR brand, Chopstix, has announced its latest store opening at Preston Fishergate, Lancashire, located in the heart of Preston City Centre.
The first opening for Chopstix in the North-West city, the site will benefit from the brand’s latest store design, featuring striking new visuals and updated in-store offerings such as order kiosks and includes 50 covers to accommodate seated customers as well as takeaway and delivery.
The store will create 20 jobs for locals and marks the next step in a busy period of expansion for Chopstix in the North and North-West having opened other stores in Doncaster, York and Leeds in the last six months alone, with the region having been identified as presenting significant growth opportunity for the brand.
Gareth Brannigan, Head of New Store Openings, said: “It has been a busy year already for the brand, with Preston being our fourth UK store to open in the last few months. We know how well Chopstix performs in the North-West, despite having lower density of stores than in some other regions. Because of this we have identified cities in this area like Preston as a significant opportunity for growth and this opening presents an important next step in this strategy.
The Fishergate shopping destination is a fantastic location for us and we’re very grateful for the support and response from locals so far.”
With over 160 locations the Chopstix Group has seen rapid growth over the past 12 months, in the UK and now France, having launched its debut site on the continent earlier this year.
Chopstix was established in Camden Market in 2002 by entrepreneurs Sam Elia and Menashe Sadik, who remain involved with the business on a day-to-day basis. The Chopstix Group has undergone a busy period of brand development and expansion as Chopstix sets its sights on becoming the largest Asian QSR company on the continent.
