Stack and Still serves up UK expansion

Stack and Still is expanding beyond Scotland by opening a restaurant at a flagship location in London’s Leicester Square. The Glasgow-headquartered company, which serves in excess of 1m pancakes per annum, is the UK’s largest chain of pancake houses.

The firm, which was founded by Graham Swankie and Paul Reynolds, will invest £250,000 in opening its first branch in London. It will seat 225 people, spread across 5,000sq ft, over three floors and an outdoor terrace.  

Reynolds said: “It’s long been my ambition to expand beyond Scotland. The move into probably the most famous leisure destination in the UK is testament to the strength of the brand.

“Opening our flagship pancake house in such a location will allow us to expand beyond our traditionally busy breakfast time by serving dishes throughout the day to families and international tourists. Guests can choose from 12m combinations thanks to our selection of pancake bases, toppings, sauces and other accompaniments.”

Stack and Still, which employs 200 people at its seven locations in Scotland, aims to double in size during the next two years, including more locations in London.
