Council bosses have confirmed the eateries will open at the town's £65million Waterfront area next month.

They will be next to Pizza Express, Chiquito's, Green King, Bella Italia, TGI Fridays and The Light Cinema.

The announcement was made by Kier Property.

Walsall Council's deputy leader Lee Jeavons said: "We are delighted that four major food outlets have chosen to invest in Walsall town centre.

"These restaurants will make a fantastic addition to the Waterfront - creating jobs and offering further choice in the town centre for our shoppers and visitors.

"I hope this will attract more people to visit our popular Waterfront development and encourage more businesses to invest in Walsall."

Tom Gilman, Kier Property’s managing director (North) said: "We are delighted to be able to announce such strong brands in Walsall.

"We’re sure the strength of these brands will mirror the success of the phase one and ensure the Waterfront scheme is the number one leisure destination in Walsall."

Stuart Buckley, senior specialist at the Homes and Communities Agency said: “This development means that Walsall Waterfront is the key leisure destination in the borough and the new businesses will add to the leisure offer in the town and importantly provide new jobs.

"It will also support home building in the borough by providing quality leisure facilities for local residents."
