🏗️ 𝗚𝗥𝗢 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹 | 𝗚𝗥𝗢𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 The GRO Events team recently caught up over lunch with Nick Kleiner, Founder & CEO of @sandwichsandwichuk , alongside COO Paul Hanna. The conversation focused on Sandwich Sandwich’s continued expansion, including the brand’s new site opening at Paddington Station later this year, and how they’re approaching growth across high-footfall, transport-led locations. Nick shares further insight on this journey in the interview, touching on what’s driving momentum and what’s next for the brand. We’re looking forward to welcoming Nick and Paul to GRO Retail – Spring, taking place on 28 April in London, where they’ll be connecting with landlords, agents and partners aligned with their expansion plans. 🎥 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 📍 GRO Retail | 28 April | London Do you have any new store openings, or exciting developments you’d like us to share? 📲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺: [email protected] 🌐 /retail #GROretail #GROrealestate #GROwthstories

When a conversation really gets you thinking afterwards. Being part of this engaging discussion at @groevents last Tuesday did just that. Pondering what really does sit beyond (and within) the postcode & how we contribute to the creation of future authentic places. Boiling it down ~ the essence of a place, its story, identity, and lived experience increasingly drives brand decisions along with guiding the interventions and investment we make as local place leaders. Progress happens when the right partners are brought together, paired with a clear understanding of the local market. Turning potential into places that genuinely perform. I drew upon a local transformation story in Richmond ~ the former House of Fraser building now home to Lindt & Sprüngli HQ, their flagship shop & Sticks’n’Sushi on the ground floor. Also the uber exciting annual festival ‘Centre Stage:Richmond Myths that awaits this Summer ~ with an awesome authentic local partner! Oozing artistry.

Shout out to the innovators & experience makers pitching at Soap Box again this year! #place #value #totalexperience #authentic #places perspective partners business growth

Still on a high from the GRO event in central London. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Such a brilliant day connecting with some incredible brands and people, real conversations, real energy, and the kind of networking that actually feels meaningful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It was an honour to have everyone there and to be part of a space where brands could show up, connect, and just be in it for the day. Thank you to the amazing brands who joined us on stage to present their businesses - more to come on this! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Until the next one 🤍
