World’s ‘most Instagrammable’ cafe opening a Manchester site

EL&N, which boasts itself ‘the most Instagrammable cafe in the world’ is opening a site in Trafford Palazzo, within Trafford City.

Peel L&P has agreed a lease with the international chain which is one of EL&N’s first ventures based in the North of England.

It will see the international brand occupy a 200 sq m site within the grand Italian mall space.

EL&N, which stands for Eat, Live, and Nourish, is renowned for creating and offering products centred around living a stylish life in a stunning setting and encouraging a positive ethos to nourish the soul.

The brand launched in Mayfair, London in 2017 and has since been established as a leading cafe and lifestyle brand with its iconic flower walls, pink interiors and eye-catching menu offering which encourage customers to create picture perfect moments.

Mark Whittaker, executive director – property investment and management at Peel L&P, said: “This is an extremely exciting announcement and will elevate the offering even further at Trafford Palazzo.

“EL&N is exactly the type of operator we are looking to attract, a forward thinking, unique brand that will complement the centre and add to the experience we are fostering within the space.”

EL&N has commenced its installation programme focused on an opening in time for Easter.

Alexandra Miller, founder of EL&N, said: “We are thrilled to announce our very first opening in Manchester at Trafford Palazzo.

“This location in particular is iconic, and we can’t wait to bring our unique offering to the diners of Manchester. The store design ties in all the classic EL&N interior elements along with some fresh new Instagram moments that we’ve never done before, Manchester, you’re in for a real treat.”

HH Retail, Creative Leisure, and the EL&N inhouse team are the agents that advised on the deal.

Trafford Palazzo is now the chosen destination for several of the UK’s first exciting concepts and EL&N will join other flagship occupiers opening this year including NERF Action Experience, fast-food favourite Archies, and state of the art bowling alley King Pins. These combined lettings as well as Italian restaurant Matterello.

Since Peel L&P acquired Trafford Palazzo, the team has introduced a new placemaking and lettings strategy which has attracted several leading brands to add to the diverse experiences and adventures within TraffordCity.
