The former antiques centre at the heart of Shrewsbury’s riverside in Frankwell will be embarking on a new chapter of its historic life, thanks to a revamp from a local Shropshire entrepreneur and businessman.
Kad Zaman, who is owner of the Station Hotel in Wellington, hopes his plans for the long disused warehouse will create a thriving nightspot for the town, with a complex of bars, restaurants and boutique shops providing the perfect accompaniment to Shrewsbury’s Theatre Severn.
Situated in a prominent position alongside the river and only a short walk from the main town, the development will make the most of the beautiful surroundings – the benefit of Frankwell’s adjacent car park will be good news for local traders, who may be looking for new premises.
Discussing his ambitious plans for the building, Kad said “At the end of the day, we are going to enhance Frankwell and Shrewsbury. It’s a good opportunity to regenerate the building and our proposals will hopefully create jobs, as well as boost the night-time economy”.
Inspiration for the scheme has come from similar projects in Manchester, where there are lots of successful canal-side bars, restaurants and clubs.
Mr Zaman has showcased prospective ideas for the building online and people are encouraged to visit the website to find out more, www.frankwellquay.co.uk
Businesses and start-up companies who are interested in becoming involved with the project or alternatively, would like to find out more about the units available, are also welcome to get in touch via the website.
