A new Korean-Japanese restaurant, Kokoro, has opened in Derby, bringing fresh flavors to the city center and replacing a former Greggs location.
Derby: A new spot for food lovers has just opened up. Kokoro, a Korean and Japanese restaurant, is now serving delicious dishes in the city center. It took over the old Greggs store on St Peters Street.
This place has been around for over ten years and has become quite popular across the UK. They opened their doors on January 22, and it’s already buzzing with excitement.
The name Kokoro means “heart” and “mind” in Japanese. They really believe in putting love into their food. Starting in Kingston-upon-Thames, they’ve grown into a well-known brand.
A spokesperson shared their excitement about the new Derby branch. They promise fresh, tasty meals made daily with top-notch ingredients. Their menu features favorites like sushi and chicken katsu curry.
They also have a variety of authentic Korean dishes, including Japchae and Korean chicken wings. Plus, there are vegetarian options for those who need them.
St Peters Quarter, the local business improvement district, is thrilled about this new addition. They’re encouraging everyone to come and enjoy the freshly prepared food.
It’s not just fast food; it’s a full experience of flavor and quality. They’re also hiring, so if you’re looking for a job, now’s a great time to apply.
The new restaurant replaces the old Greggs, which closed back in July 2020. Shoppers can still find Greggs nearby in Derbion, where they’ve expanded their space.
Other Greggs locations are scattered around the city, but Kokoro is bringing something new to the table. Posters in the restaurant show they’re looking for team members, with job ads popping up online.
They’re offering a fun work environment, free meals during shifts, and unlimited holiday pay. If you’re interested, check out their job listing for more details.
