Northern Quarter’s Lazy Sundae to open new location in Manchester Arndale

Popular Northern Quarter dessert spot Lazy Sundae is opening a new location in the Arndale centre.

The new 1,305 sq ft site in the Arndale will become the brand’s flagship store as they prepare to expand nationwide. They offer a variety of different ice-cream based desserts, as well as bubble and ice teas, all inspired by tropical countries such as Bali, Thailand, Malaysia and Taiwan.

Some of the unique flavours of ice cream include mango mochi, Vietnamese coffee, Earl Grey Biscoff and honeydew milk, which you can enjoy on their own, or in a cereal cone, cookie tray or shake. In addition to their permanent menu, they also offer limited series menu items. Some of the previous offerings include Hong Kong toast and croffles – a croissant waffle hybrid.

A spokesperson for Lazy Sundae added: “We are very excited to be joining Manchester Arndale. The site will form the flagship store for Lazy Sundae as part of our nationwide expansion plans. Customers will be transported to far corners of the world through our travel inspired offerings.”

Lazy Sundae has signed a 10-year lease with the Arndale and is the latest in a string of food and drink vendors to open up location in the city centre shopping mall, joining Creams, Slim Chickens, Kokoro, Jamaica Blue, Tim Hortons and Pizza Luxe and as Bubble CiTea.

Scott Linard, portfolio director at M&G Real Estate, said: “We’re delighted that an up and coming brand like Lazy Sundae has chosen Manchester Arndale for its newest location. We place great importance in having a truly mixed offer and its fantastic to be able to support local brands as they expand.

“With such exciting leasing activity taking place, including recent retail lettings to MINISO, Gilly Hicks and Clarks, its clear operators across the board have long-term confidence in the centre. As we move into the new year, we hope to continue this bumper run, cementing Manchester Arndale as a dynamic and vibrant retail destination with a varied line up of exciting retail, F&B and leisure.”
