New pizza parlour to open on Sheffield's Fargate as national chain O2 closing after over a decade
Two national chains are leaving the famous street
A national chain is closing on a premium street in Sheffield city centre - as a pizza parlour opens.
O2 is leaving 54 Fargate after more than 10 years.
Commercial agent Paul Lancaster said the firm’s lease was expiring.
He is advertising the unit at £42,500 per year exclusive of VAT and business rates and says it is a great opportunity to secure a well-positioned spot on pedestrianised Fargate – ‘one of Sheffield city centre's prime retail pitches’.
It follows the closure of Starbucks on Fargate after 18 years last week.
Meanwhile, the former T4 bubble tea shop next to Vision Express is set to become American Pizza Slice, Mr Lancaster said.
It has three outlets in Liverpool and one in Chester.
It will be the latest food business to move on to Fargate following Spud Bros, Chopstix and Burger King.
Costa is opening in the former HSBC bank on Fargate next month.
