A restaurant serving Japanese cuisine is the latest business to be heading to a highly-anticipated, multi-million pound city development. It has been confirmed that Panko & Sushi will be opening on the ground floor of the Goods Yard apartment building later this year.
Developer Capital&Centric’s impressive new neighbourhood features 174 apartments along with space for independent bars, restaurants, coffee shops and stores, and a lush, green public square. Its latest confirmed tenant, Panko & Sushi, was founded by Edward Cayton who has 27 years of experience in the hospitality industry and a passion for Japanese cuisine.
The news comes after coffee shop and sandwich maker Cotton launched on the ground floor of the 174-apartment canalside building this week.
Tom Wilmot, joint managing director at Capital&Centric, said: “Having Panko & Sushi choose Goods Yard shows how this new neighbourhood is already turning heads. Their energy and creativity fit perfectly with what we’re all about – bringing authentic, independent vibes to the heart of Stoke-on-Trent.
“We’re excited to see them add their own flavour to the mix and help make Goods Yard the city’s new social hub.” Edward Cayton, founder of Panko & Sushi, added: “We’ve always believed in finding neighbourhoods with real character and buzz, and Goods Yard has that in spades.
“There’s a great energy and community vibe here – it’s the perfect spot for Panko & Sushi to land in Stoke. We can’t wait to open our doors and start serving up fresh, flavour-packed dishes to our new neighbours.”
Councillor Finlay Gordon-McCusker, cabinet member for transport, infrastructure and regeneration at Stoke-on-Trent City Council, said: “This is more fantastic news – coming hot on the heels of the announcement that Cotton, an independent coffee shop and sandwich specialists are also opening at the Goods Yard.
“There is real interest both commercially and from people looking to move in and rent homes too. The development is a real centre piece for the regeneration of our city and it is creating exciting community-based opportunities, while delivering an economic boost.”
