A speciality chicken wings restaurant and takeaway has announced plans to open its second venue and first franchise in Birmingham city centre, creating at least 20 new jobs.
Wing Trapp was first launched by a trio of friends in Leicester in summer 2018 as 'Wing Shack' but is now targeting the West Midlands with its next opening.
The company has struck a ten-year deal for 2,048 sq ft across the ground and basement level of a unit at the corner of Newhall Street and Great Charles Queensway which was last occupied by sandwich shop chain Subway.
The new venue is due to open in mid-March and the company said it already had a number of other franchise outlets in the pipeline across the Midlands.
Area manager Sapphire Carter said: "We are excited about opening in Birmingham as we believe that Wing Trapp fills a much needed gap in the city's exciting food offering.
"Our new venture is in a prime location and, with the accelerating return of office workers and the growing number of people moving into the city's new apartments and townhouses, it is a great time to be launching our first franchise."
Property agencies Creative Retail and Bond Wolfe have let the unit on behalf of Birmingham-based landlord Real Estate Investors.
Scott Robertson, director at Creative Retail, said it was a welcome sign of returning confidence in the city's retail and hospitality sector, adding: "Birmingham is popular with a host of exciting retail and leisure names and we are pleased to welcome Wing Trapp to the city to launch their first franchise."
The other advisers on the deal were Robertson Brown, Shakespeare Martineau and DWS Legal.
