We've had more requests to open in Manchester than any other city in the UK, and it's truly a pleasure to honour those requests and to finally make it happen. We're really excited about this, and we can't wait to welcome you through our doors." 

The chain has plans to introduce its cheese and pizzas to retail by the end of the year.
