Comptoir Libanais to open first outlet outside of London
Comptoir Libanais, the Lebanese-inspired delicatessen and restaurant, is to open its first outlet outside of London at the Lend Lease operated Bluewater shopping centre in Kent.
The company has taken a 3,132 sq ft site on Bluewater’s lower Thames Walk at the entrance to the entertainment dining-themed Plaza. The new outlet will open in time for Christmas.
Tony Kitous, founder of Comptoir Libanais, said: “Bluewater was the obvious choice for our expansion out of London. It is a high quality environment with a very strong reputation for the quality and success of its diverse dining offer. That so many other innovative brands have selected Bluewater made our decision even easier.”
Guy Thomas, head of retail leasing at Lend Lease, added: “Comptoir Libanais is the latest leading brand to choose Bluewater as the first location for their expansion out of London. Their offer is quite distinct and complements the existing line-up in the Plaza, where the emphasis is on entertainment and the theatre of food.”
