Modern Diner takes its first UK site in Exeter

By James Russell: Modern Diner takes its first UK site in Exeter

November 29, 2012

Leading property agents, Christie + Co, has announced the letting of 74 Queen Street in central Exeter to Modern Diners Ltd, the site will become their flagship restaurant RUBY.

74 Queen Street is a prominently positioned Grade II Listed property in central Exeter. It benefits from excellent footfall resulting from it being close to both the main railway station and complementary businesses such as retail stores, restaurants and licensed premises.

The property briefly comprises a sub-divided basement area and a substantial open-plan ground floor with a mezzanine level. It formerly traded as a delicatessen and licensed restaurant.

Jon Clyne, Associate Director at Christie + Co’s Exeter Office, commented:

“We received several credible proposals and the property was let with RUBY, Modern Diner’s flagship restaurant, given preferred bidder status. The restaurant will open in early 2013, breathing fresh life into 74 Queen Street.”

Erin Allgrove, Director of Modern Diner commented:

“We are proud to bring the building back to life and give it the care and attention that it deserves. We are excited to bring a fresh approach to fast food in Exeter. The Modern Diner concept combines the heritage of the American Diner with the best produce the region has to offer.”
