Leeds scores new sports bar
Rileys is taking 11,000 sq ft at 123 Albion Street, the chain’s 14th venue and its first in Yorkshire.
The deal was carried out by Fox Lloyd Jones on behalf of Town Centre Securities, as the property company looks to diversify its portfolio.
Following on from its recent letting to comedy club Glee, which has also taken 11,000 sq ft in the building, TCS is focusing on leisure-led operators that can bring footfall to its locations.
Fit-out is currently underway on the ground floor unit at the front of the building, which sits on one of Leeds’ busiest thoroughfares.
The chain operates venues with a mix of traditional and tech-based sports-socialising, such as snooker, digi-darts, and shuffleboard.
Louise Larking, director at Fox Lloyd Jones, who acted on behalf of TCS, added: “This is a key letting for both TCS and the wider city centre.
“Rileys is a well-known national brand with a strong offer that will significantly enhance Albion Street’s vibrancy and help drive footfall into this part of the city.
“Having also acted on the recent adjoining Glee letting, it’s fantastic to see this cluster of high-quality leisure operators coming together to this prime location in Leeds.”
