Manchester Piccadilly is more than a station—it’s a destination. With over 39.1 million passengers a year, it’s the second largest regional stations and a vital gateway to the North. It connects long-distance, regional, and local services, and links directly to the Metrolink light rail system, making it one of the most accessible and well-connected locations in the country.
But there’s still room to serve more.
Passengers are on the move—and they’re hungry for fast, fresh, and flavourful options. Whether it’s a commuter grabbing breakfast on the go, a family in need of a quick lunch, or a traveller looking for a reliable bite before a long journey, the demand for quality quick service food is growing.
That’s why Manchester Piccadilly presents a standout opportunity for a quick service food retailer. With high footfall, a diverse customer base, and a constant flow of time-pressed passengers, it’s the ideal environment for a food offer that’s fast, satisfying, and memorable.
The unit is located on the mezzanine food terrace, which currently has 2.35 million visitors per year, which benchmarks positively compared to the average managed station food terrace. This unit is located on the southern side of the food terrace, where a third of station users access the mezzanine facilities.
Join us in delivering great food, quickly—right where it’s needed most.
