A new deli and wine bar, run by a well-known family who traded in Derby markets for 60 years, has secured space in Mickleover, following a letting by commercial property consultancy OMEETO.
Lyndsey Morgan, who ran a delicatessen in the former indoor Eagle Market, is the man behind Brooks Deli and Wine Bar in Station Road. The family opened their first deli and wine bar in Ockbrook two years ago, but say their second site in Mickleover will be much bigger.
The new deli will be on the ground floor of the former Finewood Studio furniture shop. OMEETO completed the letting after the site was acquired by Derby’s MHL Commercial, which is sensitively refurbishing the site to create a hub for the community – including serviced offices, a Pilates reformer studio and an estate agency.
Chris Wright, OMEETO director, said: “Lyndsey from Brooks Deli is a well-known businessman in Derby, and we know that he’s going to bring something special to Mickleover.
“Residents in the village are excited to welcome the deli and wine bar to the area. We’ve all enjoyed the one in Ockbrook, so let’s see what the Mickleover deli will be like. What we do know, is that Lyndsey’s offering will be very well received in Mickleover, and exciting times are ahead this summer. Lyndsey has been a pleasure to work with, and we look forward to visiting.”
Brooks Deli and Wine Bar was set up by Lyndsey and his family after they left the Eagle Market. Expanding and opening in a second location was always Lyndsey’s plan and he had been searching for a suitable site.
Lyndsey’s dad, George, originally started the Morgan’s Sandwich Bar and Deli in Derby’s Market Hall in 1963. In 1988, the family-run businesses moved to the Eagle Market and traded under Lyndsey Morgan before he handed down the reins to his two sons, George and Thomas. They are now the third generation of the family to run the business.
Lyndsey said: “The building in Mickleover is a great location and we are very excited to be opening soon. The feedback we are receiving from people has been extremely positive and we really can’t wait to showcase the new site.
“After the success of the Brooks Deli and Wine Bar in Ockbrook, it is fantastic to be able to open a new venue in Mickleover.”
