New restaurant announced for Market Walk in Chorley

Chorley Council can today reveal we will be welcoming Luciano’s restaurant to Market Walk in Chorley.

Luciano’s – a regional, high-quality and authentic Italian restaurant chain – already has established restaurants in Adlington (Anderton) and at Middlebrook Retail Park.

Councillor Alistair Bradley, Leader of Chorley Council, said: “Luciano’s is a fantastic addition to the Market Walk offer for visitors, bringing their high-quality authentic Italian restaurant to Chorley town centre. I look forward to it opening and seeing people enjoying another new experience in Chorley.”

The Market Walk extension opened in December 2019 and is already home to Escape Entertainment Venue, Calico Lounge and Reel Cinema, as well as retailers Sports Direct, USC and M&S Food. This is in addition to the array of high street favourites operating in the original part of Market Walk.

The family business, run by Luciano and Lorna, is due to open in February 2022, but you’ll likely see them in the unit getting ready for the big launch from this week!

Lorna Fortuna, Owner of Luciano’s, said: “Luciano’s at the Millstone and at Middlebrook have gone from strength-to-strength over the years, and although we have had many opportunities for a third venue, none have excited us as much as the new Market Walk extension has. We are thrilled to be able to open Luciano’s at Chorley in early 2022.

“Luciano’s at Chorley will be open for breakfast, through to late night cocktails and everything inbetween, from brunch to afternoon tea, from a coffee and a cake to pizza from our beautiful new pizza oven and prosecco.

“We look forward to welcoming the people of Chorley into our Italian haven within Market Walk.”

The restaurant is looking for full-time, part-time and flexible hours staff to join the team, with roles available both in the kitchen and front-of-house.

All applications are to be brought in person to Luciano’s at Middlebrook – which also has job opportunities available.

The addition of Luciano’s brings the Market Walk extension to 93 per cent occupancy. Residents should watch out for further announcements, as negotiations are underway on the remaining opportunities at the development.
