Owner Arc Inspirations says it will be a a ‘game-changing, high-quality’ sports bar and kitchen, where customers can watch, play and party.
The application will be a relief to council chiefs who have more than a dozen empty units to fill following the completion of its £470m Heart of the City regeneration scheme.
It will be the first operator in the Gaumont building - in the former Mothercare shop - which includes the huge former theatre space and has several living ‘green walls’.
BOX, which has locations in Nottingham, Manchester and Leeds, previously told The Star it is set to open in Sheffield in autumn.
