Leeds coffee shop Laynes Espresso doubles size of city centre premises

Leeds coffee shop Laynes Espresso has more than doubled the size of its New Station Street premises, leading to the creation of 4 new jobs.

Launched by owner Dave Olejnik in 2011, the business serves an array of coffees and snacks in the city centre as well as offering a training and consultancy service to budding baristas.

The new 1,500sq ft. site, which can seat up to 50 customers, is a result of Laynes expanding into the property next door which was formerly occupied by a hair salon.

Dave Olejnik said: “Our extension project was an ambitious but exciting one and now that the work has been completed and the new look shop is open we can really look forward to what the future holds for us.”

Gordons commercial property partner, Simon Mydlowski, advised Laynes Espresso on the expansion project, negotiating a five-year lease on the premises.

Dave added: “The advice Simon and his team at Gordons provided throughout the process has been invaluable in helping us to achieve the growth we have been planning for some time and we’re looking forward to being able to welcome even more people to the coffee shop in the coming months.”

Gordons partner, Simon Mydlowski, added: “The expansion of Laynes Espresso is testament to the fantastic product Dave and his team have been offering to the people of Leeds for the last five years.

“It has quickly become renowned as a high-quality coffee shop and I’m sure its expansion into a larger property will be a resounding success.”
