A call for top street food vendors has been announced as work begins for STACK’s new location.

The food vendor company, specialising in providing customers with a range of high-quality food products, has just began work on a location in Middlesbrough.

The branch will join other STACK locations across the UK offering everything from pizza, bao buns, and authentic Indian food in addition to STACK’s own food brands: Holy Duck and ZZA.

Food vendor applications are now open as STACK Middlesbrough is set to be completed before Christmas. STACK is on the lookout for an eclectic mix of high-end North East street food providers ready to fit within STACK’s signature brand.

The new venue is to be located at the undercroft, where the A66 flyover meets Exchange Square. STACK Middlesbrough will be made up of 25 shipping containers, creating a central plaza with seating, along with six street food stalls, three bars, and a stage for live entertainment.

Neill Winch, CEO of STACK, said: “High-quality food is a vital part of STACK’s success and we are looking for people who can provide authentic street food from around the world.”

He added: “And, once you’re part of the STACK family, we throw in a huge amount of support in the form of marketing and promotional activity to raise awareness of the brand and drive footfall to the units.”

Middlesbrough Mayor, Chris Cooke, has welcomed the news of STACK Middlesbrough.

He said: “STACK will be a great addition to Middlesbrough and will complement the many brilliant independent businesses in our town centre.”

He added: “There’s an opportunity for local traders to get involved and put a real Middlesbrough stamp on what STACK offers.”

With the success of STACK locations across the country, Councillor Theo Furness, Executive Member for Regeneration, is excited for the opportunities STACK Middlesbrough will bring to the region.

Cllr Theo Furness said: “I was really encouraged by what I saw on my visit to STACK in Seaburn and I’m confident that we can do it even better here in Middlesbrough.”

He added: “STACK’s knowledge and expertise combined with our brilliant local businesses will bring thousands of visitors to our town centre, supporting jobs and our local economy.”
