Red Dog Restaurants, operator of American-style barbecue concept Red Dog Saloon and Red Dog Sandwiches, has confirmed it will open a site at WestQuay Watermark, Hammerson’s £80m dining and leisure development in Southampton.
Red Dog Saloon has signed up to take a 3,506 sq ft unit that will be located on the lower promenade of the development and open in the second half of 2016. It will make its debut outside London with amore grab and go format at Lakeside in Essex, early next year.
The company has lined up a further opening in Nottingham’s Victoria Street.
The group launched its debut restaurant in Hoxton Square, London which was followed by further openings in the capital in Clapham South and most recently in Soho.
Sarah Fox, Head of Restaurants and Leisure at Hammerson, commented: “Securing Red Dog Saloon to join the fantastic and varied line-up of restaurants we will be bringing to Southampton is a great result for the scheme. We are particularly pleased that the brand selected WestQuay Watermark to take its first step outside of London, joining a number of others that will also be making their Southampton debuts, as this reflects the confidence that the brand has in the city as a leisure and retail hub.”
Tom Brooke, founder of Red Dog Saloon, said: “I am thrilled to be expanding our brand out of London and to customers in Southampton. I look forward to offering a unique and fun concept to WestQuay Watermark. With delicious food, a fantastic drink selection and vibrant atmosphere there is something for everyone at Red Dog Saloon!”
