Cafe-bar chain, Loungers is to open two new Greater Manchester outlets, Brezo Lounge in Cheadle and Molino Lounge in Oldham.
The company, which operates 75 venues, has applied for a licence to open Brezo Lounge on Cheadle's High Street, on the site formerly occupied by Co-operative Food shop.
The successful firm will also open Molino Lounge on 21 September situated inside Oldham’s Old Town Hall, which is being redeveloped into a cinema and restaurant complex.
Both are expected to offer the same all-day menu as the other Lounge sites, spanning breakfast and brunch, sandwiches and burgers as well as tapas dishes and comfort food classics such as beef chilli and mac and cheese.
