FFORESTFACH: Swansea’s third Nando’s opens with 40 new jobs
Swansea’s third Nando’s has opened its doors in Fforestfach, with the chain saying the new restaurant has created 40 jobs for people in the area.
The peri-peri chicken restaurant began serving customers at Parc Fforestfach on Wednesday, joining the city’s existing branches at Morfa Shopping Park and Wind Street.
The opening date was confirmed last week, with signage and opening posters already up at the retail park unit.

Alongside the usual menu, Nando’s says the Fforestfach branch has a frozen cocktail machine serving its “Crushes” and cocktails.
The chain has also announced a partnership with Faith in Families, the Swansea charity supporting families and children facing poverty, trauma and crisis across Swansea Bay.
Nando’s says the Fforestfach restaurant team will support the charity on an ongoing basis.
The restaurant’s interior follows the chain’s practice of working with South African designers, with ceiling features, geometric wall patterns and Southern African artwork.
Restaurant manager Ross Williams said the team was looking forward to welcoming its first customers. “We’re delighted to be opening the doors to Nando’s new Fforestfach restaurant,” he said.
“We can’t wait to welcome customers to enjoy our famous PERi-PERi and good vibes at this new spot.”
The restaurant, at Unit 3 of the retail park (SA5 4BB), is open 11.30am to 10pm from Sunday to Wednesday, and 11.30am to 10.30pm from Thursday to Saturday.
A Nando’s for the site had been in the pipeline for more than two years, and was referenced in plans for a 24-hour gym at the retail park last year.
The opening is the latest in a wave of chicken chain openings across the area, which has also seen Wingers pick Swansea for its biggest UK restaurant.
The city has form with the brand: a 2023 study crowned a Swansea branch the highest-rated Nando’s in the UK.
And earlier this year Llanelli was named home of Wales’ second best Nando’s in the chain’s own fan vote.

FFORESTFACH: Swansea’s third Nando’s opens on July 22 — with the grills already firing at Parc Fforestfach
Swansea’s third Nando’s opens next Wednesday — with the finishing touches now in place at Parc Fforestfach.
Posters in the restaurant’s windows confirm the opening date: “Loading… we’re testing out our grills,” they read, ahead of the official opening on Wednesday July 22.
Posters in the windows: “Loading… we’re testing out our grills” — ahead of the official opening on July 22When Swansea Bay News visited on Wednesday, the transformation was complete — the chain’s red lettering above a curved timber frontage, black-and-tan chevron panelling, a neon cockerel on the wall and the trademark red heart over the doors, with a “Go all in” menu board already out front.
The peri-peri chicken chain’s arrival has been a long time coming. Swansea Bay News first reported in October that planning documents had revealed Nando’s was lined up to take over the retail park’s Card Factory unit.
The restaurant occupies a 3,945 sq ft unit, with those earlier planning documents suggesting around 40 jobs would be created.
It becomes the chain’s third restaurant in the city, joining the existing branches at Morfa Shopping Park and on Wind Street.
The opening was confirmed in May — alongside news that American buttermilk chicken brand Wingers had chosen the same retail park for its first Welsh restaurant, also its biggest anywhere in the UK.
Wingers, which invested more than £300,000 in its 2,040 sq ft unit, has since opened its doors — meaning the retail park gains two new restaurants within weeks of each other.
The chicken boom rolls on
The Nando’s opening is the latest instalment in the fried chicken boom that has swept Swansea and Llanelli over the past 18 months — Wingstop and Slim Chickens on Wind Street, and Popeyes drawing 18-hour overnight queues on Oxford Street before repeating the trick at Parc Trostre.
It comes in the same week the city’s burger trade went the other way — Carl’s Jr on Wind Street closed its restaurant and switched to delivery-only, less than a year after opening.
The retail park openings serve a different audience from the Wind Street cluster: car-borne family trade, lunch and dinner rather than post-pub.
Nando’s has been steadily expanding its south-west Wales footprint — and sets a high bar locally, with the Llanelli branch ranked the second-best Nando’s in Wales on Tripadvisor reviews earlier this year.
A retail park transformed
The two restaurant arrivals are part of a wider reshaping of the retail park, which owner M Core has rebranded as M Parc Fforestfach.
A 24-hour Anytime Fitness gym is planned for the former Homesense unit, while children’s activity centre Zuno Play and pet retailer Jollyes are among the other recent or pending additions.
Adam Martin of LCP UK, part of M Core, said earlier this year that the lettings reflected a strategy of attracting well-loved, high-quality brands to strengthen the park’s appeal.
For now, the countdown is on — doors open next Wednesday, and the grills are already lit.

FRIED CHICKEN BOOM: Six major chicken chain openings in 18 months — and now Wingers picks Swansea for its biggest ever UK restaurant
Wingers — the fast-growing American-style buttermilk chicken brand — has confirmed its first ever Welsh location will open at Parc Fforestfach in Swansea this summer, and that the Swansea unit will be the company’s largest restaurant in the UK.
The arrival is the latest chapter in what has become a remarkable run of fried chicken openings in and around Swansea — a sector that has expanded faster than almost any other part of the local hospitality scene over the past 18 months.
Wingers — biggest in the UK, first in Wales
The new Wingers restaurant will occupy a 2,040 sq ft unit at Parc Fforestfach on a 15-year lease, with the company investing more than £300,000 in the fit-out and creating up to 20 local jobs.
Anthony Round, Franchise Development at Wingers, said the company was “very excited” to be opening at the park, describing the location as a perfect fit.
An opening date and promotional launch event are still to be announced.
Nando’s confirmed at last
Alongside Wingers, the long-anticipated Parc Fforestfach Nando’s has now been confirmed for a summer opening too. Nando’s was first reported by Swansea Bay News to be eyeing the site in October last year, when planning documents revealed the chain was lined up to take over the existing Card Factory unit.
The new Nando’s will occupy a 3,945 sq ft restaurant unit, with earlier planning documents suggesting around 40 jobs would be created.
The chain has been steadily expanding its south-west Wales footprint. Earlier this month, the Llanelli branch was ranked the second-best Nando’s in Wales based on Tripadvisor reviews.
Six chicken arrivals in 18 months
The Wingers and Nando’s confirmations cap an extraordinary run of fried chicken brand expansions across south-west Wales.
The boom began on Wind Street in February 2025 with American wing specialist Wingstop, which confirmed its Swansea opening earlier that year and launched on what is the city’s most concentrated nightlife strip.
Four months later, Wind Street picked up a second chicken chain — American fast-casual brand Slim Chickens opened on 26 June 2025, bringing southern-fried tenders to what the brand itself described as the city’s favourite party street.
Then came the largest single Swansea opening of all. American chicken giant Popeyes launched on Oxford Street on 3 October 2025 in the former Topshop building, drawing 18-hour overnight queues on opening day — one of the most extraordinary opening day responses to any food retailer in the city in living memory.
The Popeyes craze then spread to Llanelli, where the chain took over the former Pizza Hut at Parc Trostre following that brand’s collapse into administration — and opened to 14-hour overnight queues of its own, confirming this wasn’t simply a Swansea phenomenon.
That makes six major fried chicken arrivals or expansions in 18 months: Wingstop (Wind Street, February 2025), Slim Chickens (Wind Street, June 2025), Popeyes (Oxford Street, October 2025), Popeyes (Llanelli Parc Trostre), Nando’s (Parc Fforestfach, summer 2026), and Wingers (Parc Fforestfach, summer 2026).

There’s a geography to the boom worth noting. Three of the city centre arrivals — Wingstop, Slim Chickens and Popeyes — sit within a few hundred metres of each other on or around Wind Street and Oxford Street, the heart of Swansea’s evening economy.
The Parc Fforestfach openings serve a different audience: car-borne family trade rather than late-night party crowd, lunch and dinner rather than post-pub.
The pattern reflects a wider trend confirmed by Swansea BID at the end of 2025: new business openings outpaced closures in Swansea city centre over the year, with the city centre reporting renewed business confidence.
Wider Parc Fforestfach line-up
The Wingers and Nando’s arrivals add to a steadily growing mix of leisure, food and retail operators at the retail park. In March, planning permission was sought for a 24-hour Anytime Fitness gym at the site, taking over the large unit previously occupied by Homesense and, before that, Borders.
Children’s indoor activity centre Zuno Play and pet retailer Jollyes are also among the recent or pending additions to the park’s line-up.

Adam Martin, Director and Head of the Bristol Office at LCP UK — part of M Core, the owners and managers of the retail park (which the company has rebranded as M Parc Fforestfach) — said the lettings reflected a strategy of attracting well-loved, high-quality brands to strengthen the park’s appeal.

LLANELLI: Forget the Scarlets — Llanelli has just been crowned the home of Wales’ second best Nando’s
Llanelli has long had reason to hold its head high — the Scarlets, the mural, the seaside. But now there’s a new entry on the town’s list of achievements: the second best Nando’s in Wales.
That’s according to a new study by BingoWebsites.org.uk, which crunched Tripadvisor review data for every Nando’s in Wales and ranked them by the percentage of customers who rated their visit as “excellent”.
Llanelli’s branch came in at 42.7% — with 85 of its 199 Tripadvisor reviews awarded the top score. Reviewers were full of praise, with mentions of “amazing service”, “vibrant ambience” and a “spotless restaurant”. Not bad for a peri-peri chicken chain on a retail park.
Only Newport got close — the Friars Walk branch topped the table with a 50% excellent rate from 112 reviews. After that, Llanelli is comfortably clear of the rest of the pack.
Swansea has two branches in the rankings, and neither can quite match their Carmarthenshire neighbours. The Morfa Retail Park branch came sixth with 38.1% — though that figure is based on just 21 reviews, making it one of the smallest samples in the table, so perhaps a pinch of peri-peri salt is needed there.
The City Gates branch tells a different story — with a much more substantial 250 reviews, it came ninth with 30%. A larger sample, but a noticeably lower satisfaction rate.
That makes Llanelli more than 12 percentage points clear of Swansea’s better-reviewed branch. A gap even the most diplomatic rugby fan would struggle to ignore.
Further down the table, Cardiff’s three branches — Mermaid Quay, Old Brewery Quarter and St David’s — all sit in the lower half, clustered around the 27-30% range. Bridgend and Merthyr Tydfil brought up the rear, with Merthyr finishing bottom of all 14 Welsh branches with just 23.9% of its reviews rated excellent.
The study was carried out by analysing Tripadvisor reviews for all Nando’s locations listed on the chain’s website. Branches with no Tripadvisor page or zero reviews were excluded — which accounted for Cardiff Capital Retail Park.
Matt White from BingoWebsites.org.uk, who commissioned the research, said the 26-point gap between Newport and Merthyr showed how difficult it can be for national chains to deliver a consistent experience across every branch. “The results suggest that customer experience at Nando’s can vary significantly across Wales,” he said.
For what it’s worth, Waterloo in London topped the UK-wide rankings with a 94.3% excellent rate from 53 reviews. Nobody in Wales is troubling that particular leaderboard yet — but Llanelli, at least, is flying the flag.
And the chain itself clearly hasn’t given up on south Wales. Plans have been lodged to open a new Nando’s at Parc Fforestfach Retail Park in Swansea, taking over the current Card Factory unit and potentially creating 40 jobs — which would give Swansea a third branch and push the city further up any future rankings.
Of course, the ranking comes at a time when eating out is getting harder for everyone — restaurants and customers alike. Llanelli has felt that pressure as much as anywhere.
The Tinhouse taproom on Murray Street closed earlier this year after the owners cited mounting hospitality costs. Ali Raj and the Bryngwyn closed on the same day in a blow that left customers heartbroken. And the Sandpiper faced an outpouring of community anger when Whitbread announced it was among those earmarked for closure.
So while Llanelli’s Nando’s clearly has plenty of fans — the data says so — the wider message is simple enough. Use it or lose it.

FFORESTFACH: Plans submitted for huge new 24-hour gym at retail park – next to a planned new Nando’s
A planning application has been submitted to Swansea Council for the change of use of units 4 and 5 at the retail park, which would be combined to create a large new fitness facility operated by national chain ‘Gym Location’.
The gym would be located next door to the planned new Nando’s restaurant in unit 3, which is also yet to open, potentially adding two major new leisure destinations to the retail park at the same time.
It would be the second gym on the site, joining the smaller Anytime Fitness which is located in unit 10b.
According to a planning statement submitted as part of the application, the new gym would offer a wide range of facilities including a large free weights area, state-of-the-art cardio equipment, and dedicated studios for classes such as hot yoga, spinning, and boxing.
The operator, Gym Location, already has a number of successful sites across the UK and is looking to expand its presence in Wales.
The application states that the gym would require 24-hour access and will cater to a member base of around 11,000 people.
The move would be the latest in a series of major changes at Parc Fforestfach, which has seen a number of new big-name brands arrive in recent years.
These include a new Food Warehouse store, a new Aldi supermarket, a new McDonald’s restaurant, and a new branch of pet retailer Jollyes.
The planning documents argue that the new gym would be a “complementary use” to the existing retail and food outlets at the park, and will help to support the overall vitality of the site.
It also notes that other leisure uses have already been approved at the retail park, including a soft play area and a tanning studio, setting a precedent for this type of development.
The application will now be considered by planners at Swansea Council.
