Iconic Bristol brand Miss Millie’s to open first city centre store for 30 years

Iconic Bristol takeaway brand Miss Millie’s is set to open its first new store in Bristol city centre in over 30 years.

The new store is set to open in the autumn on St Augustine’s parade, just a few doors along from the Bristol Hippodrome, and will be the first Bristol branch to showcase the new Miss Millie’s brand, instore design, and menu.

The menu will include the signature Miss Millie’s meals, as well as a new range of burgers, hot loaded wings, tenders, fries and desserts.

Miss Millie’s has been serving awesome chicken in Bristol and the Southwest for over 30 years.

The brand was originally created by Harry Latham and his daughters back in 1988. In 2019, the family sold the business to its new owners who were keen to keep the traditions and signature flavours Miss Millie’s were famous for, whilst expanding outside the South West.

Since 2020, Miss Millie’s has opened several new stores including in Yate and Weston Super Mare. There are plans for at least three more new stores to open in 2023.

Carl Traill, Managing Director for Miss Millie’s, said: “We are delighted to be opening this new Miss Millies store in Bristol, the home and birthplace for the Brand.

“Bristolians have been enjoying Miss Millie’s chicken for over 30 years and we are excited to introduce a new generation to the brand with some exciting new menu items.

“In July we celebrated Miss Millie’s 35th Birthday and it feels very poignant to be able to open a new store right in the heart of Bristol in this 35th year.”

The new city centre store will be operated by the same franchisee who currently operates Miss Millie’s in Staple Hill, and who has been working with the brand for over 15 years.

The new Miss Millie’s store will employ up to 14 people from the local area.
