A Thai street food chain is set to open at the Riverwalk in Durham later this year after signing a 15-year lease. The new venue will be the company's seventh branch.
Zaap Thai will open its new site in September, overlooking the River Wear with views of Durham's historic cathedral.
It has agreed the lease with Clearbell Property Partners II LP (Clearbell), a fund managed by private equity real estate fund management and advisory business Clearbell Capital LLP.
Zaap Thai will occupy a 3,500 sq ft unit and will join a number of well-known restaurants, including Cosy Club, El Pincho tapas bar, TGI Fridays and Turtle Bay.
The brand is part of Sukho Group which has branches across locations in Leeds, Sheffield, Nottingham, Newcastle and York, and has plans to open two additional major locations in the next 12 months.
