Global food solutions business, Chokdee, has announced the opening of a warehouse unit at Elland Road Leicester for use as a menu development facility and new product development kitchen, as well as a training and national distribution centre.
Located close to Leicester’s Outer Ring Road, as well as M1 motorway Junctions 21 and 21A, the unit includes single-storey warehousing and open-plan two-storey offices, together with ample parking, on a prominent corner site on the west side of the estate.
Working with its holding company, Giggling Restaurants Ltd, Chokdee develops original Thai dishes using the diverse ingredients found across Thailand which are sold in Giggling Squid restaurants nationwide. The first Giggling Squid restaurant opened in 2002 and the brand continues to expand, with almost 51 restaurants across the UK, including Leicester, employing more than 1,500 staff.
“The Elland Road unit is part of an exciting phase in the growth of our business. From menu development to distributing fantastic ingredients to restaurants across the UK, we are primed to support chefs, kitchens and hospitality businesses at large.”
Vikas Agarwal, Chief Commercial Officer, Chokdee
