Giggling Squid will trade from c.2500 sq. ft. on the ground floor with additional balconied first floor seating. They will utilise the entrance fronting the Square, introducing bi-fold shopfronts and also open up the period entrance on Cank St, helping to improve footfall around St. Martins and The Lanes in general.

Martin Herbert of SPACE – Retail Property Consultants, who advised SPG, commented: “Giggling Squid will bring to Leicester a fantastic, high quality, Thai dining experience and their choice of St. Martins, being complementary to the other dining offers within the Square, will add to the vibrant and ever-increasing offer available in The Lanes. The market is moving away from the mass-branded Casual dining offers found in so many shopping centres and the inclusion of Giggling Squid at St Martins is a testament to the work that both Shearer Property Group and Leicester City Council have put into continually improving this unique part of the city centre.”
