Grind, the coffee house, roastery and brunch spot, will be opening its first location outside London in Manchester this summer.
It’ll be opening its doors at St Michael’s, the new development from Gary Neville currently being constructed off Deansgate.
The Manchester site will offer the brand’s speciality-grade coffee, a seasonal menu and a full cocktail menu.
The first Grind was opened in Shoreditch in 2011, in the old mobile phone shop run by founder David Abrahamovitch’s dad.
It now has 14 outlets across London, as well as selling its fair trade coffee and compostable coffee pods online by subscription, and in Waitrose, Tesco and Co-op.
David Abrahamovitch, Grind founder and CEO said: “We’ve always said that if we were to do a big site outside of London, the first place we would go would be Manchester. My wife is Mancunian and her whole family live in Manchester, so I’ve spent a lot of time there over the years and I’ve always thought that a Grind would work well.
“We’ve looked at various locations over the years, but thanks to Gary (Neville) and the team at Relentless we think we’ve finally found the perfect home for Grind in St Michaels, in the heart of Manchester. We cannot wait to get open in the summer!”
Gary Neville, director at Relentless Developments said: “The ambition for St Michael’s was to create a landmark that will become an economic driver for Manchester and bring together major names in a world-class, sustainable development.
“Attracting brands like Grind who have yet to set foot outside the capital is a massive achievement and testament to how hard we’ve been working to deliver our vision for the scheme and city as a whole.”
It’s just the latest business to announce that it’s opening up at St. Michaels, with Paris-based Big Mamma recently confirming that it will open Circolo Popolare, a ‘Sardinian Festa’-inspired restaurant this summer too.
