DTZ Investors have agreed a five-year lease with Petit Paris, a French delicatessen, at 10 King Street to continue their rejuvenation of the area.
As their first ever deli in the UK, Petit Paris will be occupying 437 sq ft of space and plan to bring their authentic French style, cuisine and culture to King Street, providing another unique offering for the area.
Petit Paris will be a Parisian influenced Deli in which they will be serving up fine wine, oysters, cheese and charcuterie boards, one of the first in Manchester.
The deli will also operate an online store which will feature French favourites including wine, cheeses, meats, dips, condiments and will supply these quality products to local chefs and restaurants.
Tom Royston, Director at DTZ Investors said: “Attracting international operators was a key strategic goal for us at King Street since taking our majority acquisition of the area in Manchester’s city centre.
“We’ve made significant progress in developing King Street and reinvigorating the area since the difficulties that COVID-19 brought for the retail and hospitality area, and Petit Paris is another brilliant step for the area. We can’t wait to welcome them to the street at the beginning of next year.”
Mattheiu Dath, Owner of Petit Paris said: “Petit Paris is the missing piece in Manchester, a French deli that can provide a number of incredible products from France.
“We could not be more excited to be part of King Street. Jonathan from Lyons Thompson Letts was very helpful to find us the best location for Petit Paris. We are delighted that DTZ Investors has given us the opportunity to be part of King Street and it’s great to see what they are doing for the city.”
The deal was completed by on behalf of DTZ Investors by Lyons Thompson Letts and Orme and follows a succession of new lettings at King Street.
Since the new year, DTZ Investors have completed a number of new openings such as the popular men’s fashion brand Pretty Green, Crepslocker, George Thornton Art and the world-renowned bakery chain, Cinnabon.
Shoe shop Clarks Original opened their doors last week, King Street’s newest retailer.
The street has also recently hosted global brand Maison Margiela REPLICA fragrance pop-up which took over one of King Street’s vacant units.
DTZ Investors became a majority stakeholder of King Street in 2018 with the goal of repositioning the street as one of Manchester’s most attractive and culture-focused city centre areas. The company’s growth strategy has involved collaborations with global brands, as well as increased flexibility for the street’s commercial tenants and occupiers.
Lyons Thompson Letts and Orme are joint leasing agents at King Street.
