Building work is taking place to create two new restaurants in Southport.
Kaspa’s Doner & Gyros and Kaspa’s Desserts are due to open in the former Frankie & Benny’s site at Ocean Plaza Leisure in Southport, creating 40 new jobs.
They will breathe new life into the 369 sq m unit which has been vacant since Frankie & Benny’s closed at the onset of the Covid pandemic in March 2020.
While work is taking place currently, it is not yet known the the two sites are due to open.
Kaspa’s is a national chain which operates 104 sites across the UK, with 13 in the North of England, including Preston, Liverpool, Blackburn and Blackpool.
The firm was founded in Croydon in south London in 2012.
Fadi Alkhanshali, of Benfaz Limited, has submitted a planning application to Sefton Council for the subdivision of the former Frankie & Benny’s restaurant into two units, the change of use of one of the subdivided units into a mixed restaurant and hot food takeaway, including a new shop front entrance, the installation of HVAC equipment and associated signage.
It is part of substantial investment being made at Ocean Plaza Leisure in the coming weeks.

Stand Up For Southport recently revealed how work is also taking place currently to create the brand new Good Hood Southport eatery.
The Good Hood will open at Ocean Plaza Leisure soon after the success of its New York style eateries in West Kirkby and New Brighton.
The Good Hood is “home to home-made burger patties, unique NYC pizza slabs, butter-fried chicken, and cocktails that are off the hook!”
Refurbishment work is currently taking place at the Nando’s restaurant, which is due to open on 16th February 2024.
The new additions will add to the leisure and hospitality offering already at Ocean Plaza Leisure, which includes Vue Cinema, Tenpin bowling, Playtown children’s centre, Roberto’s Italian restaurant, Everlast Gym, Nando’s restaurant and Evans Cycles.
