Kokoro Sushi has opened on Exchange Walk in Nottingham city centre. Kokoro which now has over 50 locations across the UK specialises in sushi and bento with food available to go or to eat in.

Kokoro have taken a lease via FHP of 7-8 Exchange Walk in a unit that provides accommodation across ground floor and first floor with an area totalling 2,012ft². Exchange Walk is a clever location and a busy thoroughfare that links Nottingham’s Market Square with Albert Street and benefits from strong footfall throughout the day and night. Kokoro have carried out a comprehensive fit out of the property with a vibrant new shop front.

FHP have secured this letting on behalf of landlord Evolve who purchased the parade in 2022. The letting signifies a strong step forward and gives the parade another new anchor tenant to improve the tenant mix.

Oliver Marshall at FHP comments:-

“It is great to secure a national brand such as Kokoro into Nottingham. We have been trying to get Kokoro into Nottingham for a number of years so it is brilliant to finally secure them, it is a great addition to the city. The location on Exchange Walk is a busy thoroughfare and benefits from good footfall throughout the day and night, it is close to key locations in the city such as the Old Market Square and Albert Street, perfectly placed for city workers grabbing lunch or shoppers looking for a lunch on the go.”

Kat Behbahani of Evolve comments:-

“We are thrilled to welcome Kokoro Sushi and Bento to our parade on Exchange Walk. They are a fantastic addition to the scheme and we wish them every success going forward, they have carried out a high quality fit out which you cannot miss as you pass by.”

FHP will also soon be remarketing the former Co-op Bank at 4-5 Exchange Walk which also presents another great opportunity for either a retail or leisure tenant, for more information please contact Oliver at FHP.
