Italian wine café Veeno to expand in the UK

It will launch up to 12 new branches across the UK.

Veeno has appointed Cedar Dean Commercial, the strategic lease management arm of property advisory firm, Cedar Dean Group, to oversee its real estate strategy. CDC will provide lease advice, rent review and business rate services for the company as it looks to expand its presence in prime markets, particularly in London. Cedar Dean Group’s CDG Leisure has already been appointed to help develop the business by identifying and acquiring new sites to meet a growing demand from customers for ‘La Dolce Vita’.

Michael Macpherson, head of strategic lease management at Cedar Dean Commercial, said, “We are very pleased to be involved in Veeno’s journey as they continue to grow and develop as a business. Our team are aligned with Veeno’s long term strategy and we are excited to support and be a part of it.”

Speaking about its plans, co-founder Nino Caruso said, “We are delighted by the response from our growing customer base for our unique brand, and will be working with Cedar Dean Commercial to ensure that more people will be able to enjoy our Italian aperitivo. We have no doubt that our expansion plans will be an enormous success.”
