Leisure operator Optimum Group has announced the launch of a new gelato and dessert franchise.
The firm, which already operates 23 Costa Coffee franchises in Merseyside, opened Kaspa’s on Crosshall Street with a funding package from Yorkshire Bank.
The dessert restaurant has created 30 new full-time equivalent jobs.
Optimum Group decided to launch the Kaspa’s venue after identifying prepared dessert restaurants as a growing UK market.
Mark Bryan, managing director at Optimum Group, said: “We think dessert houses are going to boom in the UK over the coming years and saw this as a complement to our already successful Costa Coffee-focussed franchises.
“Kaspa’s is an exceptional brand and we’re excited to see it going so well, with very positive feedback from staff and customers alike.“
