Fresh new look: Birds Bakery transforms Nottingham flagship store
Added by Love Business East Midlands | 1 May 2026
Birds Bakery has completed a significant renovation of its flagship Lister Gate store in Nottingham city centre, which is now open and welcoming customers.
Lister Gate temporarily closed its doors on Saturday 18 April to undergo a complete transformation and officially reopened on Thursday 30 April.
The store, which first opened in 2019, is the 13th to be redesigned as part of a rollout across all 62 branches across the East Midlands.
The refurbished store incorporates the brand’s new spring green and teal colour palette, blending modern aesthetics with the 100-year heritage that has made Birds a household name.
Catering to busy office workers and city centre shoppers, the new-look bakery offers a “grab and go” experience as well as a new, improved seating area for those who want to enjoy their treats in-store.
Customers can enjoy a range of sandwiches and salads on offer - alongside Birds’ legendary sausage rolls and barista-style coffees, all handcrafted using fresh and locally sourced ingredients.
Jamie Bird, managing director of Birds Bakery, said:
“We’re excited to have given Lister Gate a makeover as it truly is an important part of our Nottingham presence.
“We’ve designed the new space with the city's busy workers and shoppers in mind - people who want the quality experience and traditional taste that Birds is famous for, but need the speed and convenience of a modern “grab and go” hub. “We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to a contemporary new environment that still feels like the Birds they know and love.”
Birds Bakery’s Lister Gate store is located at 2-4 Lister Gate, Nottingham NG1 7DD and is open from 7:30am-4pm Monday to Saturday, and 9am-4pm on Sundays.
