Fast food chain opens airport kiosk

Fast food chain Wrapchic will open a second Birmingham site at the city’s airport, it has been announced.

The kiosk, which will be located in departures, was negotiated by property consultancy Harris Lamb’s business retail team.

Wrapchic founder Mahesh Raikar tasked Harris Lamb in 2015 with acquiring premises in key locations across the UK to aid the business’ expansion. The Birmingham-based business now has 15 stores across the UK, and aims to have more than 25 by the end of the year. It has also launched its first international store in Dubai.

David Walton, head of retail, said: “Transport locations are a pivotal part of the business’s next growth phase, and this is a superb site at an important UK airport.

Raiker said this location is a “landmark achievement” for the business.

“With a number of further outlets planned for 2018 and more transport locations already in solicitors’ hands, we’re confident that the next 12 months will see the chain expand further with the ongoing support of the Harris Lamb team,” he said.
