Customers swap packed lunches for pakoras at Slough Trading Estate
Customers on Slough Trading Estate will be swapping packed lunches for pakoras and sandwiches for souvlaki - as owner SEGRO is teaming up with streetfood platform app, StreetDots, to bring a range of high-quality new street food trucks and stalls to the Estate.
A mix of new street food stalls will offer customers a different mix of tasty, fresh cooked street foods at the newly-refurbished Leigh Road Park, at the heart of the Estate, every week.
Paul Lewis, SEGRO regional director and manager of Slough Trading Estate, said:
“This year we’re focused on making life on Slough Trading Estate better for customers in many different ways – from installing ultrafast fibre for businesses, to rejuvenating the mix of shops and improving green spaces on the Estate.
StreetDots is a clever app-based business which helps independent food businesses find great places to set up stall – we’re delighted to be collaborating to bring a wide variety of top-quality street foods to customers.
Initially – and given it’s still winter – stalls will set up on Wednesdays only, but if they prove popular they could come back more regularly when spring arrives.”
StreetDots co-founder, Atholl Milton, commented:
“Customers want more than just a desk and good internet – work/life balance is just as important and access to enticing lunchtime food options is a very important part of this. The UK street food scene is booming, and we help bring the best of it to time-pushed people. We’re excited to be bringing new food options to customers in Slough.”
StreetDots works with land partners to enliven spaces with ‘dots’ – spots on the ground that host different street food trucks and stalls. It works with more than 800 independent street trading brands on more than 250 dots across the UK, with big expansion plans for 2019. Existing partners include Transport for London, Southwark Council and Broadgate Estate.
The Slough Trading Estate dots will launch this week.
