Blanchflower to open new site in Trafford Centre
Founded by Phil and Claire Howells, Blanchflower is a family-business with sites in Sale and Altrincham will open its third location at Trafford Centre in the Upper Orient
Local independent brand Blanchflower will open a new café focusing on coffee and baked goods, next February in a 400 sq ft location in Trafford Centre.
Founded by Phil and Claire Howells, Blanchflower is a family-business with sites in Sale and Altrincham, and will open its third location at Trafford Centre in the Upper Orient area.
Blanchflower has its own bakery, located just around the corner in Sale, where they produce their own bread, cakes and pastries. From cruffins to Bakewell tarts, and focaccias to homemade granola, diners can enjoy a selection of seasonal items made from locally sourced ingredients, made by hand by a small team of bakers and pastry chefs. Visitors will also be able to enjoy fresh soups and sandwiches.
Phil Howells, co-owner of Blanchflower, said: “Since our journey running cafes in Manchester started in 2012, we’ve wanted to share our love of great coffee and food with as wide an audience as possible, so we’re really excited to reach Trafford Centre’s huge volume of visitors. It’s a real vote of confidence that such a large Manchester institution is backing an independent and local business like ours and we can’t wait to get stuck in.”
Kitty Vaughan, head of UK leisure and F&B leasing at Pradera Lateral, added: “We are thrilled to be welcoming Blanchflower Coffee and Bakery to Trafford Centre. As a popular local business, they have a vibrant and unparalleled offering that we know our visitors will be looking forward to experiencing. December is an exciting time for Trafford Centre, as we’re elevating the entire dining experience for our visitors, celebrating the innovation and quality that can be found right here in our region.”
