It's attracted quite a bit of attention since landing in the north earlier this year, and now Gail's, the hit London bakery known for its freshly baked sourdough loaves, cakes and bakes, has opened its first store in Manchester City Centre.
Gail's new branch on King Street opened this morning at 6.30am and it didn't take long for queues to form, as eager punters patiently waited to snap up the bakery's signature cinnamon buns, gourmet sandwiches and fresh breads. The new store becomes its third bakery in the north of England - following hot on the heels of Wilmslow and Altrincham.
Located opposite Boodles on King Street and spread over two floors, the bakery takes over from the former White Stuff fashion store, which has just moved further up the street. While the cafe areas boast a contemporary décor, Gail's has also continued the recycling theme applied across its other branches, and has ensured that as much of the original building as possible is reused with reclaimed bricks, refurbished flooring and recycled orange peel light fixtures.
