Trinity Kitchen in Leeds is five years old
Five years ago, on 17 October 2013, the new Trinity Kitchen food concept area opened in Leeds to much acclaim, marking full completion of Chapman Taylor’s Trinity Leeds project.
Trinity Kitchen formed part of Landsec’s response to the evolution of the retail market – setting a new benchmark for shopping centre dining by introducing a diverse mix of street food vendors, pop-up market stalls and emerging high street F&B brands, all set within a 1,900m² urban ‘warehouse’ environment.
Every six weeks, Trinity Kitchen invites six of the best street food vans, carts, sheds and trucks from across the UK, with the chosen vendors brought up from the street by hydraulic lift and in through an opening in the wall of the first floor. They are complemented by six permanent eateries, with the result being a diverse range of world cuisines brought together in one place.
The concept has proved so successful that Landsec rolled the concept out at some of its other properties, such as at Glasgow’s Buchanan Galleries. Revenue and visitor numbers quickly exceeded initial expectations by far, and Trinity Kitchen has set the benchmark for shopping centre F&B provision for all of Europe.
The overall Trinity Leeds development attracts over 23 million visitors every year and has had an extraordinarily positive economic impact on the city, with the City of Leeds reporting an increase of two million annual visitors since its opening.
Among its many awards, Trinity was named ‘Best Retail Estate Development in a City Centre’ at the prestigious MAPIC Awards, 2013, as well as ‘Global ICSC RECON VIVA ‘Best of the Best’ shopping centre in the world in 2015. Trinity Leeds has helped catapult the city into 6th place on the UK’s hierarchy of top retail locations, with it being voted one of the UK's 'Coolest Brands'.
Chapman Taylor is proud to have delivered Trinity Kitchen, and to have seen the difference it has made to the overall Trinity Leeds development, which we designed.
Congratulations to Landsec and to everyone at Trinity Kitchen on this milestone. We look forward to another five years of gastronomic innovation.
