Grounded, the south west-based, independent group of café bars, is to continue its recent expansion push, with a third opening this year.

The company, which was founded in January 2008 by property developer Tobie Holbrook, has secured a site in Bridge Yard, in Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire, for an opening later this summer.

The group recently opened its ninth and tenth sites in Henleaze next to the Orpheus Cinema and in Chippenham on the former Riverside Wine Bar and Jax and Ruby’s nightclub unit respectively.
