Hit London bakery chain Gail's is to launch another north west site - after taking over a former bank in Didsbury. The popular bakery is famed for its cinnamon buns, sourdough loaves and wide range of cakes and pastries.
Work is now well underway at the former HSBC bank building on Wilmslow Road in Didsbury, with the signature red and white branding of Gail's appearing on the hoardings. Contractors on site say they are working towards a completion of building works by mid-June, although an official opening date has yet to be confirmed.

She told the MEN: "We're delighted to be firing up our ovens in Didsbury this summer. The design of the bakery will pay homage to the unit's past life as a bank where much of the existing character from the build will be retained".
Founded in the early 90s by chef and baker Yael (Gail) Mejia, the brand has gone on to open over 100
