An expanding restaurant chain is set to create 30 new jobs when it brings a taste of Thailand to Durham city centre.
Yorkshire-based business Sukho Group has earmarked two units at the city’s Riverwalk development which will be transformed into a downtown Bangkok food market, complete with Thai graffiti, tuk tuk seating booths, neon lights, tuk tuks, colourful bunting, hats and street signs.
The company has been a firm favourite in Newcastle for several years, and also operates restaurants in Sheffield, Leeds, Headingley, York and Nottingham. It is also planning a Manchester opening. Bosses say it has been trying to find a suitable site in Durham for some time. The group is now awaiting confirmation of a licensing application and, once approved, it will create 30 jobs.
