Zizzi and PizzaExpress, both brands of Gondola, have been named by property developer Hammerson as the first of nine restaurants to take up residence in the £20m extension to the Silverburn shopping centre in Pollok, Glasgow.
Zizzi and PizzaExpress will open 3,300 square feet and 3,600 sq ft restaurants respectively, both with open kitchens and both in prime locations near a planned 14-screen Cineworld cinema.
The first phase of the 10,700 square metre extension, almost half of it devoted to the cinema, is due to open in November 2014.
The names of another seven restaurants that are due to take up places in the development are due to be announced soon. Chains currently represented at Silverburn include Coffee Republic, Costa Coffee, Frankie & Benny’s, La Tasca, Nando’s, Pizza Hut, Prezzo’s, Starbucks, Wagamama and Yo! Sushi.
