Quintain signs two new brands for Wembley Park, boosted by a £5m investment programme into independents

• Quintain has agreed deals with Tian Tian Market and Nakanojo to take over 10,000 sq ft of space at Wembley Park 
• Builds on Quintain’s £5.1m investment in support of independent businesses at Wembley Park over the past 5 years
• Quintain’s Retail Director says the investment has been “key to building a strong community” 

Quintain has signed two more food brands for Wembley Park adding to the appealing choice of retail, hospitality and leisure at London’s most exciting new neighbourhood. Premium Asian grocery store Tian Tian Market has signed to take 4,268 sq ft of space, and fusion Japanese-Peruvian restaurant, Nakanojo, sister restaurant to the Nakanojo restaurant in Marylebone, will take 5,897 sq ft.  

The deals mark the latest milestone in Quintain’s £5.1 million investment programme into independents over the past five years, made up of both capital investment and rent-free periods. As a result, the company has attracted a diverse and attention-grabbing spectrum of small businesses and brands to the neighbourhood by supporting them in getting their operations up and running.   

The £5.1million already invested marks the halfway point in Quintain’s commitment to delivering new retail spaces at Wembley Park that will appeal to local residents, workers and visitors. This excludes the investment Quintain has made into making London Designer Outlet a leading retail destination.  

Matt Slade, Retail Director at Quintain, said: “These new deals are testament to the continued appeal of Wembley Park, and to the collaborative approach we have adopted with our retail and leisure partners. The cookie cutter placemaking strategies of the past are no longer fit for purpose. Today’s disruptive, independent businesses and the entrepreneurs behind them add a genuine sense of place, character and appeal to burgeoning retail destinations. 

The investment we have made into local, independent businesses through both capital investment and rent-free periods has been key to building a strong community at Wembley Park and establishing a new 15-minute neighbourhood for London. 

Our Estate strategy is one that prioritises the curation of a wide choice of independent shops, restaurants, cafes, leisure and amenities, to complement the global brands and flagships at London Designer Outlet. This means we can attract and delight the 3.5m people, made up of mainly affluent achievers and successful suburbs, that live within 5-minutes of Wembley Park, as well as the millions of visitors from further afield every year.  

By investing in small, independent businesses, we have created something quite remarkable at Wembley Park – a place that is both a thriving neighbourhood and a world-class entertainment destination.” 

Emma Tai, Founder, Tian Tian Market said: “We deal in everything from the niche to the trending. From its diverse and hugely exciting retail and leisure community, it was clear to us that Quintain shares this ethos at Wembley Park. 

Between the week-round local catchment, which is growing every year, and the event day opportunities, there are very few places that can offer both the footfall and the visit frequency that Wembley Park can.  

We are looking forward to joining other innovators, creatives and brands that have made Wembley Park the distinct neighbourhood it is today.” 

Wembley Park spans over 85-acres, including 42-acres of public realm and gardens and features 500,000 sq ft of high-quality retail and leisure space. The transformative mixed-use development is just minutes from central London and is easily reached by three Tube lines, two train lines, and eight bus routes that are all within walking distance meaning it is easily reached from central London and the home counties.
