"There’s already so much love for Estabulo in the city, which made it an easy decision to bring Casa Peri Peri to Trinity Walk – a consistently successful and busy shopping centre.
I am certain that even despite these challenging times, we will go from strength to strength and we’re looking forward to really getting going.”
