Popular Manchester café Cotton is set to be the second business to move into Capital & Centric’s Farnworth Green development.
The independent, which currently has stores in Ancoats and at Neptune Mill, is renowned for its artisan sandwiches and organic coffee.
Farnworth Green was officially opened to the public on 1st February, almost five years on from Capital & Centric announcing their £50m vision for the former Market Precinct site.
The first retail unit to be filled was done so by Cheshire-founded café chain The Coffee House, which enjoyed a very busy opening day this past Saturday and became the company’s 30th store in the process.
However, further down Brackley Street, a huge sign has now appeared on the front of the unit opposite Greenhalgh’s Craft Bakery, with ‘coming soon’ and ‘Cotton’ written in black on a white background.
An official opening date for Cotton is yet to be announced, but it is really interesting to see Farnworth Green attracting this type of indie Manchester business and I’m personally intrigued to see what follows.
Do you think Cotton will be a success in Farnworth and which businesses would you like to see move in next? Let me know in the comments.
