Manchester Arndale shopping centre has secured Wingstop UKI, the fast growing restaurant specialising in chicken and flavour, on a five-year lease occupying the 5,928 sq ft former Yo Sushi unit.

Established in Texas in 1994, Wingstop rose rapidly to become one of the fastest growing restaurant chains in the US. The brand launched in the UK market in 2018, and into Ireland last year, and now operates more than 85 locations.

Wingstop UKI’s arrival follows a trio of lease renewals from major UK retailers.

Argos and Lush have signed for a further five-year lease, Argos for a 13,321 sq ft unit and Lush for 2,972 sq ft, while Lovisa has committed to a further 10 years at the retail destination, continuing to occupy a 631 sq ft unit.
