Hope Remains for the Greater Manchester Hospitality Sector

Having survived the COVID-19 pandemic, there is optimism that the only way is up for the historic town centre and its diverse range of local restaurants, eateries, and bars. This follows on from the recent report of a five percent increase in the number of visitors to the area.

Altrincham’s hospitality success not only draws in local start-up hospitality vendors but also induces global giants in the industry. For example, Starbucks has announced that they are to open a store in an exciting new development being constructed in Stamford Quarter.

Alongside this, Altrincham has recently seen Dose, a combined venue for coffee and self-care, open a store on Kingsway. Additionally, Cheshire Cupcakes opted for Altrincham as the location of choice to open its second store earlier this year.

The variety of both independent and chain hospitality venues choosing to open stores in Altrincham, combined with the regular hustle and bustle of the town’s market hall, indicates that the future remains bright for Altrincham’s food and drink sector.
