TikTok foodies Spudbros confirm location for FIRST EVER Manchester site
One more reason why potatoes are the best veg.

Spudbros have announced plans for new sites and they’re bringing their TikTok famous jacket potatoes to Manchester for the first time ever.
The streets of Manchester are about to get a whole lot carbier as the much-acclaimed and well-loved Spudbros have just revealed the location of their latest site, right here in our town centre.
Already admired by thousands every day who queue up in Preston town centre, now the capital of the North is set to be the next venture for a Spudbros’ hot potato truck.
It’s more than guaranteed that this branch in our bustling city centre is destined to be a smash as street food is practically our middle name.
There’s also some big expectations to fill as online, you can see masses of people waiting in line to get a taste of their famed potato offerings. If you can get us weather-complaining Northerners standing outside, you must be good.
Jacob Nelson, who is one half of the viral potato loving Spudbros, revealed on Instagram back in January: “This is the first time that you guys are going to hear it but the Spudbros are franchising out”.
He explained: “We have got a few stores opening up around the UK, Manchester is one of them in the North West area.”
Initially, this news came off the back of the closure of Manchester foodie staple Almost Famous, as the Preston potato van co-owner offered his condolences and jobs to those who worked for the burger chain.
However now, this burger institution has since re-opened and it seems Spudbros and Almost Famous both get the opportunity to shine bright within our city centre.
In a TikTok video posted just yesterday, the pair can be seen sneaking around their new site in Manchester which looks like the Bloc building just off Market Street, possibly the old and much-loved Philpotts cafe site.

Spudbros are loved by millions online with more than three million followers and this isn’t their first rodeo branching outside of their home comforts in Preston.
Jacob and Harley Nelson, the masterminds and real life brothers behind Spudbros, also have a location in Soho, London, under the name ‘Spudbros Express’, which launched last month in December.

The Preston duo are switching up their tried and trusted potato van method for a unit just off Market Street and with a location so central to the city centre, it will certainly go down a treat.
A date for the opening of the latest Spudbros location is yet to be revealed but rest assured Mancs will definitely be walking around town with some carby goodness in the next few months.
It’s almost like you can get a whiff of their gorgeous cheese and bean jackets already…
