ShakeAway in Sutton Coldfield
A new milkshake franchise has opened in the Gracechurch Shopping Centre, Sutton Coldfield. ShakeAway was opened by franchisee Noel Davies following advice from the corporate and commercial property divisions of Keelys Solicitors.
ShakeAway, which markets itself as the "re-inventor of the milkshake", has 55 shops and franchises across the UK as well as outlets across Australia and Cyprus. The company has employed eight people at the Sutton Coldfield branch.
Davies and his company, NAN Davies, were advised on both the franchise and the lease agreements by Lichfield-based Keelys.
Associate commercial property partner Jill Briggs undertook the legal work involving a sublease between Noel Davies and ShakeAway, while corporate solicitor Fiona Teague advised Davies on the franchise agreement.
Briggs said: “ShakeAway is a very successful and dynamic company and we are confident that the franchise in Sutton Coldfield will reflect this.”
The lease on the property at 84 The Parade will expire in April 2015.
The head lease was agreed with ShakeAway and the Gracechurch Shopping Centre and Shakeaway was represented by Latham Commercial Services in Dorset.
