The historic market in Telford is a popular spot for shoppers to explore, and bosses have now opened a new food court with local traders offering tasty meals to visitors.<\/p>\n

Nisha Devi-Sanghera, head of operations at Castlepoint Markets, said the idea came about a few years ago and has taken years to plan and execute.<\/p>\n

\u201cBack in 2017 I always knew a food court would be something that could be a draw for people in Wellington,\u201d Nisha explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cI travel into the town and one thing I struggle with myself is the fact that there is not a lot of food outlets.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo myself and the marketing manager sat down with the managers and developed this concept of a food court and how we could plan it.<\/p>\n

“Over the years I think people noticed the group of empty units and from 2018 we were just really brainstorming how it would work and what food businesses would we want in there.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen in 2019, while we were having the electrical work done, we got the go-ahead from the new owners for the food court plan.\u201d<\/p>\n

The coronavirus pandemic delayed the plans slightly, Nisha said, but the extra time did allow them the chance to find a variety of traders.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cWe wanted to build the court with longevity in mind and ensure businesses could see themselves staying there for a long time.<\/p>\n

“So we have built a good variety of traders for customers and it can be a reason for people to come and visit, eat and explore the market.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really want to make the food court cosy as well in the future \u2013 a place where friends and family can catch up, and make it suitable for all ages.<\/p>\n

“The traders range from pizza, cakes, bistro-style cafe, healthy foods and we are having lots of interest from potential traders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of the businesses open at the food court are Escape The Robot, Hello Gorgeous! and Park Street Kitchen.<\/p>\n

The market is open 9 am to 4 pm Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and 9 am to 4.30 pm on Saturdays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
