The Oracle starts 2020 with a bang

Hammerson’s flagship destination The Oracle has welcomed two new brands to its line-up, and it today announced that another two are due to open later this year. Global footwear powerhouse brand Skechers will open a new 3,200 sq ft store in 2020, and the brand will be joined by the pioneers of naturally fast food, Leon. The brand’s new 3,600 sq ft restaurant will serve all of its popular meals, including its famous Fish Finger wrap. Since it opened its first restaurant on Carnaby Street in 2004, Leon has gone from strength to strength, and now has restaurants all over the UK. Japanese restaurant Osaka opened in January, and has already proved a hit with hungry locals. The new 3,100 sq ft eatery combines traditional techniques with modern twists and serves a range of enticing Japanese dishes including ramen soups, Katsu curry, and sushi. It also has a bar, which offers a range of delicious drinks include Sake, hot tea, cocktails and much more. Natwest also opened a new 3,900 sq ft branch in January.
