The first Love Brownies Café in Wales has opened in Windsor Road, Penarth. Love Brownies Penarth is part of a growing network of cafes and shops across the UK offering multi-award-winning brownies plus a delicious breakfast and lunch menu, vegan options, and some beautiful gifts.

Cooke & Arkwright secured the lease on behalf of the landlord, Plymouth Estates. The firm’s Building Consultancy carried out repairs and prepared and decorated the unit in readiness for Love Brownies shop fitout team.

Ben Davies, Associate with Retail & Leisure said, “Love Brownies is another great addition to the town’s eclectic mix of shops, bars, restaurants and cafés. Opening a new store in these uncertain times is testament to Love Brownies’ confidence in their fantastic product and the town itself. This optimism is consistent with many other franchisees of a similar nature, proving that operators are seeing the opportunities in this challenging market.”

Franchisor Lee Teal added, “Our first café in Wales is a really big deal for us. We pride ourselves on offering a fantastic experience that matches our award-winning brownies and we’re delighted to open our doors and welcome the people of Penarth.”

Love Brownies was founded in the Yorkshire Dales in 2009 by Lee and Chantal Teal with the aim of baking the ‘ultimate chocolate brownie and making people smile’. It has since become well-established franchised business with a range of cafes, Grab & Go’s and Brownie Day Tourers across the country.

The Leekes Retail and Leisure Group have substantial property assets within the group and have engaged Andrew West to appeal against rating assessments on these properties since 2010. We have consistently been impressed by Andrew's knowledge of the property market and his negotiating skills have been exceptional. Given Andrew's outstanding performance, we would not hesitate to recommend Andrew to any business large or small seeking to appeal their rates liabilities.
