Grant Clouston, the businessman behind the launch of the first NKD pizza franchise in the UK, explained that the new opening will be the first of many and dropped hints about where they could go next, he said: “I am extremely excited and proud of the journey my team has taken to open a second nkd pizza store in the UK.

“Bringing an international brand into the UK is never an easy task, however, the opening of the second store is going to be a game changer and will trigger us opening more stores in Edinburgh and across Scotland. To give you a hint about our next location the next city has a famous wheel.” The entrepreneur stated that they are hoping to grow a similar fan base with the new store like the one they have with their original Morningside outlet, adding that they’ll also be expanding their menu with added sides, new pizzas and exciting desserts.

We want to do this as a welcome gesture for us moving in but also to get people hooked on our special ten-grain dough.

“We are also extremely excited to also start receiving corporate orders from the Gyle business district, as do we a tremendous amount of corporate orders from our Morningside store.”
