Viking Park's next phase gets underway after Greggs, Starbucks and KFC openings
Congleton's new retail park has started to take shape.
Starbucks, KFC and Greggs all launched at Viking Park in May, enjoying record opening sales.
However, the development is not yet complete, with two new industrial units now being fitted out by their occupiers, which are due to be announced in the coming weeks.
On top of this, Clowes Developments and Roe Developments have commenced earthworks on the next phase of Viking Park, which will involve two more 'high-quality' industrial/trade counter/warehouse units.
Marc Freeman, director of Clowes Developments, said: "We're delighted to see the roadside retail element at Viking Park now fully open and trading.
"The arrival of Starbucks, KFC and Greggs significantly strengthens the offering for both the local community and passing traffic.
"Building on Aldi's successful opening last autumn, Viking Park is rapidly establishing itself as a key destination in Congleton.
"Our thanks go to Roe Developments for delivering the units on time and to an excellent standard."
Construction of the detached 1,850sq ft drive through facility for Starbucks and the semi-detached unit totalling 3,200 sq ft for KFC and Greggs was completed earlier this year.
Starbucks began welcoming customers on May 1, with KFC and Greggs following soon after.
Ian Gill, property director at Gastronomy Restaurants and Café Fortune, said: "Gastronomy Restaurants and Café Fortune as appointed UK franchisee and licensees for KFC and Starbucks are were delighted to have worked with Clowes Developments in bringing forward this scheme and allowing us to bring these brands to the population of Congleton.
"The process was amicable and smooth with the completed scheme looking exceptional."
Gillian Long, retail operations director for Greggs, added: "Our new shop in Congleton has brought 12 new jobs to the local area, as well as providing customers with a modern, convenient new place to experience their Greggs favourites."
