Lakeside announces four new F&B brands

Lakeside Shopping Centre, part of SGS group, is further enhancing its food and beverage offering with the arrival of four new restaurants. Gen Z favourite Wingstop, Chipotle, Amorino and Wendy’s will soon join the centre’s diverse dining range of more than 50 brands.

Wingstop, one of the UK’s fastest growing food retailers, is famous for its unique combination of flavours and will bring freshly cooked wings to Lakeside, while Chipotle Mexican Grill brings fresh and customisable burritos, bowls, quesadillas, tacos and salads. The American hamburger brand, Wendy’s, also joins the line-up and for those with a sweet tooth, Amorino specialises in indulgent desert experiences – including freshly made waffles and crepes.

Rob Jewell, Managing Director, Asset Management at Pradera Lateral, commented: “Our vision at Lakeside is to continually evolve the food and beverage experience, ensuring we provide a vibrant mix of renowned brands that meet the needs of all our visitors. The additions of these new operators will strengthen the centre’s appeal through both grab and go and sit down options, ensuring that there really is something for every visitor, at any time of day.”

Lakeside is already home to a vast choice when it comes to food – with visitors able to indulge at Harrods Champagne bar, satisfy a sweet tooth at Love Churros or spend a night out with friends at one of the restaurants on The Boardwalk.

The arrival of Wingstop, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Wendy’s and Amorino continue to cement the centre as the dominant retail, leisure and F&B hub in Essex and reinforces its commitment to creating an unrivalled customer experience.

Lakeside’s leasing strategy is focused on attracting world leading brands that visitors covet, and this is just the beginning – more exciting big names will be announced in the coming months as the centre prioritises delivering choice and excitement for its 17 million annual visitors.
