Jamaica Blue expands UK presence with opening at Essex development
Set to open its second UK store in Essex, at a new development in Chelmsford.
Jamaica Blue is planning to deliver on an expansion of the brand, which includes a further store opening planned for winter 2016.
The new café restaurant will open on 17th October at the £150m Bond Street development in Chelmsford. The prestigious new complex is located in the heart of the city centre and is positioned to link into the existing high street. The 300,000 sq ft retail and leisure complex includes premium stores such as The White Company, Joules and John Lewis, as well as various restaurants and a five screen boutique cinema.
Jamaica Blue will be well placed in the luxury development, with its premium food options and trendy, relaxed interior design. The new store channels a hideaway atmosphere and will serve as the ideal place for shoppers to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Lisa Brook, General Manager at Foodco UK, said: “It’s an exciting time for Jamaica Blue and we are thrilled to be opening the second UK store in such an esteemed new development. The town centre location is just perfect for the brand and offers a tranquil environment for our customers to enjoy. Jamaica Blue’s contemporary interior design will be a great place to relax and offers escapism from everyday stresses.
“Our pilot Cambridge store has gone from strength to strength, with growing customers every week, and we are confident we have chosen a strong location for our second store to experience the same success. We are excited to announce we have already secured our third UK store opening in Leeds, which is set to open in November this year.”
Jamaica Blue offers all day dining with a wide range of classic breakfast and lunch dishes – all served with a Jamaica Blue Twist. The menu boasts everything from eggs benedict with a range of accompaniments, to chicken and mushroom crepes. Everything on the menu is prepared each day using quality and fresh ingredients.
