Italy Express - Dundee

Harlequin Leisure Group, Europe's largest chain of Indian restaurants makes its first foray into the fast food market with the the Ashoka Express/Italy Express unit at the Wellgate Centre in Dundee. The launch of its first fast food venture marks the start of an anticipated period of rapid expansion for the group as the Ashoka Express and Italy Express concepts are rolled out throughout the UK.

Dundee's Wellgate Centre was chosen for the launch of the new concept after detailed research revealed it to have all the ingredients necessary for success. The Wellgate Centre is home to an impressive range of retailers. Its food court, which already comprises a number of well-established food operators, has proven itself to be very popular with Dundonians. The dual entrance into the food court - from both the rear and the front of the Wellgate - means that it is always very busy. The Ashoka Express and Italy Express brands add a fresh ingredient into the mix at Wellgate which will appeal to locals.

Italy Express will offer a range of pizza and pasta dishes, as well as special cut-price 'meal deals' offering a two course meal with a drink.
