Expansion for coffee and deli bar just eight weeks after launch

Gino D'Acampo

Gino D’Acampo’s first Italian fast-casual dining offer, My Coffee & Deli Bar, has expanded just eight weeks following its launch.

Such has been the success of the venture, located on the ground floor of My Pizza & Prosecco Bar in fashion retailer Next, Manchester, the business has acquired further floor space within Next.

The expansion sees an additional 25-covers created.

Central to the success, celebrity chef Gino believes, is the strength of the real Italian food offer, which features a wide selection of hot classic dishes including the best Neapolitan Pizza, pasta, Italian artisan sandwiches – Piadina and Spianata, and pastries and cakes.

All are made in-house by Gino’s expert team of bakers and chefs.

Speaking on the expansion Gino said: “Italian fast-casual dining is a popular concept in Italy and has been well received in London. I had no doubt it would prove popular in Manchester.

“People’s lifestyles have changed. They’re looking for great, quality, hot food that can be enjoyed on the move or in an easy, relaxed environment.

“My Coffee & Deli Bar delivers exactly that, morning, noon and night.”

Further contributing to the success of Gino’s new fast-casual dining offer is an online ordering service which enables guests to pre-order their lunch and collect when ready, skipping potential queues and maximising their free time.

A free delivery service is available on orders over £30, and, such has been the response, the business is now looking to roll out the concept across its portfolio of restaurants.

Gino added: “Brits are well recognised for their great manners and readiness to queue, but who really wants to if you don’t have to?

“It is early days for Gino2Go but the initial response has been great and we’re looking forward to rolling it out across our wider restaurants.”

My Coffee & Deli Bar is Gino’s third restaurant offer in Manchester, sitting alongside his original restaurant at the Corn Exchange and his My Pizza & Prosecco Bar, located on the first floor of Next.
