Thistle Group has taken a 9,700 sq ft space on a 15-year lease at Rotherham’s Forge Island development, South Yorkshire.
As part of the deal, Thistle is set to bring four new food brands to the area, including Casa Peri Peri, a Portuguese and South African cuisine offering; Estabulo Rodizio/Sakku Samba, a Japanese-Brazilian cuisine to be merged under one roof; and Caffé Noor.
Construction of the scheme will be delivered by Muse Developments, and is scheduled to begin in October. The project will also see the development of a public square with a pedestrian bridge connecting the scheme to the wider town centre. Other occupiers, including cinema operator The Arc and Travelodge, have already signed prelets on the scheme.
