The fast casual brand has acquired a 3,777 sq ft former Samsung unit on Market Street and expects to launch in May.
Founded in 2015 by Paul Hopper, HOP Vietnamese Street Eats currently operates three sites with seating in London and a kiosk in The Orient food court at Manchester’s The Trafford Centre that launched last year.
HOP Vietnamese Street Eats food is inspired by the street food vendors of Vietnam offering a customisable menu including pho noodle soup, banh mi baguettes, noodle salads and curries.
The menu also includes bubble tea, fresh lemonades, soft serve ice cream, Viet rocket fuel coffee, Viet fried chicken and dumplings.
“We’ve been blown away by the welcome we’ve received at our first Manchester based location at The Trafford Centre, so when this incredible opportunity arose at Manchester Arndale it just felt right for a second opening,” Hopper say.
“HOP’s offering is perfectly matched to both the needs of busy professionals as well as shoppers and tourists looking for a more interesting alternative to the regular fast food offerings typically found on the high street.”
“Manchester has one of the UK’s most exciting city centres as well as dynamic food scenes and myself and the entire team at HOP cannot wait for our Vietnamese inspired street eats to be a part of this.”
M&G Real Estate and Global Mutual act as joint asset managers of Manchester Arndale while Metis Real Estate and Time Retail Partners are the centre’s retained letting agents, with Green & Partners retained lease advisory agents.
