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 announced they’re planning to open a 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 carby goodness. If you can get us weather-complaining Northerners standing outside, you must be good.

In an Instagram post uploaded to their official Instagram account Jacob Nelson, who is one half of the viral potato loving Spudbros, revealed: “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.”

This exciting news of their thrilling potato truck launch came after some sad news for food lovers and industry workers alike as a popular burger chain shut all its sites.

Just yesterday, Manchester staple dirty burger company Almost Famous announced their closure and many businesses in the hospitality sector offered workers at the now-shut down burger joint jobs at their local eateries.

Nelson also addressed, saying: “We just want to reach out to Almost Famous and anyone who works around Almost Famous and say there is an opportunity to come work for the Spudbros.”

Although they may be prioritising employees who worked for Almost Famous, he reminds potential workers that ‘the opportunity is there for anyone who wants to come and work with us’.

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.
