City centre coffeehouse Laynes set to expand

Leeds coffeehouse Laynes Espresso has more than doubled the size of its New Station Street property.

Launched in 2011 by Dave Olejnik, Laynes has become a well-known watering hole for those in need of a caffeine fix.

Its much-needed expansion has seen it take over the property next door, formerly a hair salon.

The site adds another 50 covers, inceasing the size to 1,500 sq ft and adding four new jobs.

Laynes Espresso owner, Dave Olejnik, said: “Our extension project was an ambitious but exciting one and now that the work has been completed and the new look shop is open we can really look forward to what the future holds for us.

“The advice Simon and his team at Gordons provided throughout the process has been invaluable in helping us to achieve the growth we have been planning for some time and we’re looking forward to being able to welcome even more people to the coffee shop in the coming months.”

Gordons commercial property partner, Simon Mydlowski, advised Laynes Espresso on the expansion project, negotiating a five-year lease on the premises.

Gordons partner, Simon Mydlowski, added: “The expansion of Laynes Espresso is testament to the fantastic product Dave and his team have been offering to the people of Leeds for the last five years. It has quickly become renowned as a high-quality coffee shop and I’m sure its expansion into a larger property will be a resounding success.”
