STACK targets Christmas trading in Middlesbrough
The leisure operator has issued a call for street food vendors as it starts work on a pop-up container village at the undercroft where the A66 flyover meets Exchange Square.
The intention is for STACK Midfdlesbrough to operate for three years at the site.
In tried and trusted STACK style, the development will use 25 shipping containers and create a central plaza with seating, along with six street food stalls, three bars and a stage for live entertainment.
STACK’s own food brands Holy Duck and pizza emporium ZZA will be featured.
“High quality food is a vital part of STACK’s success,” said Neill Winch, CEO of STACK, “and we are looking for people who can provide authentic street food from around the world.
“And, once you’re part of the STACK family, we throw in a huge amount of support in the form of marketing and promotional activity to raise awareness of the brand and drive footfall to the units.”
Middlesbrough Mayor, Chris Cooke said: “It’s great news that work is starting on the STACK site.
“STACK will be a great addition to Middlesbrough and will complement the many brilliant independent businesses in our town centre. There’s an opportunity for local traders to get involved and put a real Middlesbrough stamp on what STACK offers.”
The business continues to be busy in the region and beyond, with the new venue at Newcastle United’s St James’ Park up and running.
STACK last week secured consent to convert Wigan’s former Debenham’s store, and has also progressed its plans at Bruntwood’s former Hatch container village in Manchester, with a planning application now submitted.
