New 1,500 sq ft coffee shop coming to Blackpool

Blackpool Entertainment Company Limited has revealed plans to launch Tower Coffee Company, a new coffee shop and eatery, in the Lancashire town.

The firm secured a 1,493 sq ft unit on the ground floor of Number One Bickerstaffe Square, a five-storey office block forming part of the Talbot Gateway Central Business District.

Urban regeneration company Muse Developments is the firm behind the scheme.

Greg Ball, a development surveyor at Muse, said: “The scheme is now attracting a lot of interest from occupiers which is testament to the quality and location of the Talbot Gateway.

“Tower Coffee Company will enhance the tenant mix and retail offering for this part of Blackpool.”

He continued: “With the recent opening of Mr Basrai’s World Cuisine, a letting agreed for a gym and strong interest from a number of other national operators, momentum has built very quickly in the early part of 2016 and we’re hoping to make further announcements in the very near future.”

Blackpool Council’s Cabinet Member for Municipal Assets, Cllr Fred Jackson, said Talbot Gateway is getting “busier and busier” as new businesses move into the scheme.

He continued: “I am delighted that another unit will soon be occupied attracting even more people to this area of the town centre.

“More than a thousand people work out of the units that are already occupied so I am sure that a coffee shop will be hugely popular.”

With Tower Coffee Company signed up for space at Talbot Gateway on a 10-year lease, the building is now 70% let.

The single floor and three remaining units are being jointly marketed by real estate services firms Duxburys Commercial, Cushman & Wakefield and Montagu Evans.
