Wok&Go, the Asian food franchise operation led by Des Pheby, has secured three more sites in the UK and is to expand its overseas reach further into mainland Europe and the US, M&C Report has learnt.
New sites set to open are at Western Road in Brighton, the Brookgate development in Cambridge, and a unit in Cardiff. They will take the estate to 16 sites, including its first in Kuwait, which opened last year.
The company said launches in mainland Europe and the US were “coming soon”.
Last year Wok&Go appointed Cushman & Wakefield to find 10 more sites as it looked to expand across the UK during 2013/2014.
The group is targeting premises on the edge of prime retail units with A3/A5 planning consent, ranging from 74.32 sq m (800 sq ft) to 111.48 sq m (1,200 sq ft) in high footfall locations such as primary shopping centres, high streets and “high-quality” retail parks.
The concept, which was launch in 2007, offers a range of Asian dishes from Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, China and Japan.
