Case study: supporting Tasca Frango with commercial leases for its expanding restaurant portfolio

Harrowells Solicitors is proud to have worked with Tasca Frango, a rapidly growing restaurant business, in the negotiation of multiple commercial leases as they expand their footprint.

Tasca Frango is a well-regarded restaurant business known for its vibrant menu and commitment to delivering exceptional dining experiences. As part of their growth strategy, the company has been expanding across multiple sites and diversifying their offerings to include new formats and venues.

One of the highlights of this expansion is their latest venture, Cavo restaurant, a contemporary café style dining experience within the prestigious Cocoa Works development. As the business continues to scale, Tasca Frango has turned to Harrowells Solicitors for expert legal guidance to ensure their commercial lease agreements support their ambitious expansion goals.

The new site location was provided as a shell unit and the Harrowells team was required to ensure the terms allowed for a smooth, cost-effective fit-out. There was also a need for careful handling of the cross-rights of our client and the co-located community hub to ensure that terms would not cause any operational disruptions.

Each site involved in the expansion required a lease that was customised to the format and location of the restaurant, considering factors such as the fit-out process, community integration, and the surrounding commercial environment.

The result of our efforts was a series of tailored lease agreements that support Tasca Frango’s expansion and evolving business model. The leases were structured in a way that provided flexibility for future growth, while ensuring the necessary protections and operational requirements were in place from day one.

As Tasca Frango continues to expand and diversify its restaurant offerings, Harrowells remains committed to supporting their journey, ensuring that their lease agreements continue to serve their best interests and contribute to their ongoing success.

If your business is expanding and you need expert advice on commercial leases or any other legal matters, Harrowells Solicitors are here to help support your business growth.
