Stretford’s New Food Hub Revives Town Center

Stretford’s town center is about to get a major revival, starting with a bold new food hub built on the site of a former car park. This vibrant space, spilling into Sir Tony Lloyd Square, will serve as a bustling day-to-night destination — featuring a bakery, coffee shop, and pop-up bottle store by day, and street food, live music, and DJs by night. Part of a £multi-million regeneration project that’s tearing down the old Stretford Mall to make way for 248 homes, 140,000 sq ft of retail, a cinema, theatre, and new park, the hub is seen by many locals as the spark needed to bring life back to the area. Backed by independent street food specialists GRUB, the temporary 19-month venture (open Tue–Sun, 8am–11pm) has council approval recommended — and if it succeeds, could set the stage for a full-town comeback.
