Loungers Plc, the expanding café and bar group has inked a 15-year lease for a 4,080sq ft space positioned across from Nando’s and ODEON Luxe Cinema at The Springs.
The concept brings together elements of a restaurant, British pub and coffee shop culture. In the coming financial year the chain plans to add a further 30 venues to its current portfolio of more than 200.
Gemma Irwin, Community Manager at Loungers, says: “We are delighted to be bringing Caballero Lounge to The Springs. Our Lounges strive to put community at the heart of hospitality and our teams always go the extra mile to make a difference. They are actively encouraged to connect with their communities by working with local groups, charities, organisations and businesses that are at the heart of the fabric of local life. We are very much looking forward to welcoming local residents to Caballero Lounge and to playing our part at the heart of The Springs development.”
Rachel Vickers, Senior Commercial Manager at Scarborough Group International (SGI), which is responsible for the asset management of The Springs and Thorpe Park Leeds, said: “We are delighted to welcome Loungers to The Springs Leeds. The deal is testament to the strength of proposition for the centre which continues to attract high-quality operators, creating a fantastic mixed offering for the Thorpe Park estate and wider East Leeds Community. This exciting new venue will bring a new dynamic to The Springs which is currently more widely recognised for its retail offering. The introduction of a new café-bar, sitting alongside the cinema and existing food and beverage outlets, will widen the audience appeal and catchment with reason to spend more time at The Springs. This is further supported by the forthcoming new railway station on site that will provide direct access from the likes of York and Harrogate and also from Leeds City Centre in just eight minutes.”
