Nottingham’s intu Victoria Centre has announced plans to invest £1m to transform its struggling Clocktower dining area.

The news comes a week after Thai street food restaurant Thaikun closed suddenly saying the location hadn’t worked out for the company.

intu says the work, which is due to be completed in November, will “change the look and feel” of the Clocktower dining area, “creating a more natural, social space for shoppers to either grab food on the go or stop for a leisurely lunch or dinner”.

“This is an exciting time for Clocktower dining,” said Nigel Wheatley, general manager at intu Victoria Centre.

“We always listen to our customers and are committed to providing new experiences that make their day out with us extra special. It’s clear that shoppers want more choice when it comes to both food options and budgets, and they also want to relax in a space that feels different to the main mall.”

intu says six new international food brands and local companies are set to open in the Clocktower area.

Joining the recently-opened pretzel specialist Auntie Anne’s is Triple Two Coffee. Mr Frites will also opens its first UK venue in October.

Muffin Break will in September, as well as McDonald’s and noodle bar Chopstix, both of which are due to open in October.

Nottingham’s Clean Cut Kitchen will opens its second city site in the shopping mall in October.

“With the changes to Clocktower dining, the arrival of meetspaceVR and, of course, our exciting mix of shops, intu Victoria Centre is now a real leisure destination,” added Wheatley.

“We know that customers want more compelling experiences to share with family and friends and this new offering does just that. It is designed to attract people from further afield, allowing them to spend more time with us when they visit.”
