Caribbean concept Jerk Junction to open in Liverpool

Caribbean concept Jerk Junction is set to open its fourth restaurant site, in Liverpool.  Jerk Junction, which was founded by Jake Shaffi, has secured the former Gourmet Burger Kitchen site in the Liverpool ONE scheme. Last year, Jerk Junction, which is “on a mission to make authentic Jamaican food more accessible in the UK”, opened its first restaurant in Manchester’s Trafford Centre, offering dishes such as jerk chicken, curried goat and lentil stew – all served with rice and peas and prepared with traditional spices. It joined the business’ other locations in Chorlton and Wilmslow. 

Richard Negus, of AG&G, acted for Gourmet Burger King on the Liverpool deal.
