Loungers opens first covered mall site

Loungers has opened Toledo Lounge at Merry Hill, one of the final casual dining additions to the destination's 55,000 sq ft leisure quarter.
The new 3,200 sq ft restaurant is the first Lounge to open in a covered mall environment. It features the brand's signature patterned wallpapers, oversized vintage sofas, eclectic artwork and statement pendant lighting. It offers a varied all-day menu, from brunches to relaxed evening tapas, salads and burgers.
Toledo Lounge's opening adds to the £12m investment in the leisure quarter over the past three years, joining brands such as Hollywood Bowl, ASK Italian, Wagamama, and Wingstop.
John English, head of community at Loungers, comments: "We're so excited to be part of Merry Hill and to bring our 'home-from-home' atmosphere and innovative menu to such a thriving destination.
"Community is at the heart of what we do, and we've made sure Toledo Lounge is a welcoming space for families, with games, colouring books and more."
