Carluccios have been rapidly expanding their portfolio of restaurants over the last few years and this rate of growth is ever contining – with the group’s next restaurant to be opened in Dorchester.
The restaurant will open in the town’s £100 million Brewery Square development – It will occupy 3,264 sq ft in the Bonded Stores building, including a dining terrace beside the new Odeon cinema, reports the Dorset Echo.
A number of restaurants have been confirmed for the town regeneration plan, including Wagamama, Zizzi, Cafe Rouge and Pizza Express.
Andrew Wadsworth, director of project development company Waterhouse, said it has given the project a boost to offer a place to an iconic brand like Carluccio’s.
“We are delighted to have secured such a fantastic building in Brewery Square and look forward to opening Carluccio’s delicatessen and restaurant this year,” added Steve Hill, chief executive of the Italian-style chain.
