“It’s a truly impressive development combining great stores, restaurants and leisure facilities; I’m looking forward to being at the heart of it and opening my fourth restaurant in this wonderful county.”

Chief executive of the retail park's developers Scarborough International Properties, Simon Marshall, added:

"We are delighted to welcome Gino and his aspirational brand to The Springs at Thorpe Park Leeds. The new retail and leisure park serves to provide unrivalled new facilities in east Leeds, not least for those that work here but also for the local community, commuters and destination visitors. We look forward to announcing further exciting occupiers in the coming months."

Last week fashion chain River Island became the latest brand to take on a lease at The Springs. They will join Next, TK Maxx, Outfit and Boots, while on the leisure side there will be an Odeon cinema and a branch of Pure Gym.

Sixty companies and 4,500 staff are already based at the Thorpe Park site's business park.
