Chopstix continues Welsh expansion with 5th restaurant

Chopstix is set to open its 5th site in Wales this week, located on North Walk, Cwmbran.

It comes amid plans to “significantly increase” its footprint in North Wales over the next 12 months, following stores in Cardiff, Swansea and Bridgend.

The new sites will include design elements the brand has become renowned for such as its iconic ‘living wall’, natural wood finishes and its winking anime character that features across all Chopstix locations.

Established in Camden Market in 2002 by entrepreneurs Sam Elia and Menashe Sadik, Chopstix celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.

Jon Lake, managing director for Chopstix, said: “We’re well aware of the popularity of Chopstix in Wales, as the impressively strong sales data and customer feedback across existing sites has guided our growth strategy throughout the region, but nothing beats seeing queues of expectant diners on opening day.

“The clear demand for the brand in Wales has given us real impetus to identify additional locations across the country, the next step will be to expand into North Wales through a mix of company operated and franchise stores, I hope to be able to share more details on this soon.”
