Manchester Airport’s new Terminal 2 will feature a familiar pub brand as plans for the terminal are revealed.
The second phase of the airport’s £1.3billion transformation is set to be completed next year – and JD Wetherspoon is confirmed as one of the brands opening up there.
The ‘Spoons joins other big names in retail like Chanel, Pandora and LEGO which have already been confirmed as opening up in the new Terminal 2.
The name of the new Wetherspoon hasn’t been announced yet, but the airport says it will ‘feature nods to sporting greats of the north in its decor’.
Other food and drink outlets already confirmed for Terminal 2 include Upper Crust, Starbucks, WHSmith’s Grindsmith Cafe, and Greggs.
One of the major features of the new terminal will be the Great Northern Market – a 472-seat food hall showcasing Manchester’s incredible street food scene, with cuisines and caterers rotating on a regular basis.
Local dessert brand Gooey is set to take on a permanent unit there.
Richard Jackson, the airport’s retail director, told the MEN: ‘We are proud of the world-class facilities on offer in Terminal 2, and a key part of our vision for the finished terminal is to provide an unrivalled experience for passengers shopping and dining before they catch their flight.
‘We’re delighted to be bringing such a varied offering to the second phase of our brand-new Terminal 2, with local brands complemented by well-known high street names and options to suit every budget.
‘We’ve worked hard to make sure we’re bringing exciting, classic brands like Chanel and Pandora to the airport as well as Fever-Tree opening a statement cocktail bar and our very own LEGO store – while also making sure people have the brands they love to see in an airport setting like Wetherspoon and Greggs.
‘On top of that our Great Northern Market will be a unique airport offering – allowing people to enjoy the popular “market hall” style dining experience with a range of individual street food style pop ups around a central eating area.
‘It will let groups of people dine together while being able to choose from a range of different and varied menus.’
