In early July, Pret A Manger will be opening its sixth shop in Leeds, offering a menu of freshly prepared food and organic coffee and teas for customers, all prepared in Pret’s onsite kitchen. Joining them in August will be sandwich and salad bar Sesame, marking its third site in the city.

Pret A Manger and Sesame will join the line-up of other popular bars, cafes and restaurants based at the thriving urban quarter, including Mad Frans, Good Luck Club, Sociable Folk, Hoist House, Café Nero and Veeno, offering more choice for its community and for visitors from across Leeds.

Beyu Dental, a new state-of-the art dental clinic will also launch in August, occupying 2,200 sq ft at 4 Wellington Place. Beyu Dental will offer a wide range of dental services, including general and cosmetic dentistry. Its space includes five fully equipped surgery rooms and on-site dental laboratory enabling Beyu Dental to offer same-day dentistry services.

On its new additions, Paul Pavia, Head of Development at Federated Hermes MEPC, the developer and asset manager behind Wellington Place, said: “As an already thriving community in Leeds city centre, we’re committed to continually creating a fantastic offer that cement’s Wellington Place position as the number one place to do business.

“We’re thrilled to be adding two fantastic options to our portfolio of delicious food outlets, with a nationwide favourite in Pret A Manger, as well as supporting a local, growing business with Sesame. We’re also proud to be introducing a dentist that’s committed to world-class dental care, adding to our long list of other amenities such as private medical practice, The Whitehall Clinic, and meeting and conference space at The Terrace.

“This new trio of outlets will bring great new benefits to the neighbourhood for both our businesses, and visitors, and we look forward to welcoming these new operators this summer.”

People visiting the new outlets will also be able to enjoy free weekend activities as part of Wellington Place’s Summer Sessions series. This includes its Wimbledon Weekender, with screenings of the Wimbledon finals on a big screen as well as free morning Yoga sessions from Yoga Hero and guided history walks.
