A popular street food vendor is changing its name as its popularity allows them to double the size of its stall.

Indian street food vendor MoMoz, is changing its name to Chacha’s as they expand their unit at the top end of the Market Hall.

Placed opposite The Orchard Bar, the vendor, which opened in 2018, has grown in popularity with Prestonians and they have now decided to double the size of their shop, making room for more delicious, authentic Indian street food with a new and improved menu.

Adrian Robinson, acting director of customer services said: “Congratulations to brothers Salman and Masroor on the achievement of their expansion plans. It is great to see a trader able to expand their business and be a success on Preston Markets. MoMoz has been popular with visitors to the Market Hall since opening in 2018 and I’m sure that this initiative will see their popularity grow even further.’

“It’s thanks to the people of Preston, who continue to support their local market that hard-working traders such as Chacha’s have an opportunity such as this.”

Salman Ahmed and Masroor Ahmad, Owners of Chacha’s said: “We are very excited for the future of Chacha’s within Preston Markets, the new space allows us to offer a greater range of food, we look forward to seeing what people think of our new layout and our new menu.
