New tenant signs up for prime property

Award-winning agents Halls Commercial have secured a Thai restaurant as the new tenant of a prominently located property in Shrewsbury town centre.

Chaiya, which translates to victory, has taken over the lease of 4 Claremont Street, Shrewsbury, the former Catalogue Surplus store.

The restaurant will provide Asian cuisine, as well as offering a takeaway service with a bar for people to have a drink while they wait for their food.

Simon Cullup-Smith, from Halls Commercial agency team, said: “We are delighted to announce the successful letting of the former Catalogue Surplus store. With the business closing, a tenant was secured to take over this prominent building and is now making plans to convert the former retail shop into Chaiya, an Asian cuisine restaurant.

“The opening of this restaurant is very positive news for Shrewsbury, increasing the food offering and generating more footfall in this part of the town centre.”

Situated close to the Claremont Street junction with Barker Street, near a public car park, the three storey property comprises a large lock-up shop unit with a net internal floor area of around 3,254 square feet.

The 2,357 sq ft ground floor provides a retail sales area fronting Claremont Street and a rear delivery access off Hills Lane. The 409 sq ft first floor and 488 sq ft second floor provide toilet facilities and store areas.
