The McGoff Group has acquired the Urmston Market site on Railway Road in Urmston in a deal that will see it develop a thriving new indoor food hall for the town, titled Market 41.

Outline planning consent has already been granted for the development with work due to begin in the New Year with the aim of being open and trading in late 2022. Building on the increasing popularity of local markets, the proposed new indoor market hall concept will feature a diverse blend of 10-12 food and drink operators positioned around an informal central seating area of around 160-180 covers that is serviced and staffed by Urmston Beverage & Leisure Company Limited (a new division of the McGoff Group).

All traders will be carefully selected to ensure customers benefit from the very best quality and choice at competitive price points. The intention is to provide something different from the existing retail offer in Urmston and there will be a strong focus on independent and small manufacturers from across the region who work with locally sourced artisan quality food and drink.
