An opening date has been set for a food and drink hub that aims to change the landscape of a Merseyside town centre.
The Imperial Food and Drink Quarter, in St Helens, has been in the works for well over a year, facing delays on the venue's grand opening due to the pandemic and material delays. However the development, launched by entrepreneur Ian Pitts, now has a date for launch.
Mr Pitts, who owns other businesses in the town, such as the Imperial bar on Ormskirk Street, aims to bring a "much needed boost" to St Helens' nightlife economy.
