Resorts World Birmingham has sparked excitement among shoppers by teasing a new brand set to take over a unit at the complex. The shopping centre has remained tight-lipped about the identity of the incoming tenant, but locals are already speculating wildly in the comments section of its social media posts.
Teaser post and initial reactions
In a recent Instagram post, Resorts World Birmingham wrote: "Something exciting is coming to Resorts World... Can you guess what’s taking over this space? Drop your guesses below!" The post quickly attracted a flurry of responses from eager Brummies, each offering their own theory about which brand might be moving in.
One commenter guessed "Popeyes," to which Resorts World replied: "A good guess!" This response, while not confirming, did little to dampen speculation. Another user suggested the smoothie and juice cafe Get Fruity, and Resorts World's reply of "Maybeeee" sent fans into a frenzy.
Get Fruity hints at the answer
Get Fruity itself also commented on the post, using the 'shifty eyes' emoji, which Resorts World answered with "ay ay ay." This playful exchange has led many to believe that the new unit could indeed be a Get Fruity outlet, which would be a first for the shopping centre.
Another commenter wrote: "My new favourite reason to visit resorts world," followed by a string of fruit emojis, to which Resorts World responded: "LOVE THAT! we have so many reasons to visit, it’s such an exciting time." This further fuelled the fruity speculation.
What the new tenant is not
While Resorts World has been coy about confirming the brand, they have ruled out at least one guess. When a commenter suggested Chipotle, the shopping centre replied: "Nooooooo but great guess!" So visitors should not expect a Mexican fast-food outlet to open in the space.
Excitement builds for the reveal
The anticipation is palpable, with locals eager to see what new experience awaits them at Resorts World Birmingham. The shopping centre has promised "something exciting," and with the hints pointing towards a fruity addition, it seems likely that the wait will be worth it.
BirminghamLive has contacted Resorts World Birmingham for comment, but as of yet, no official announcement has been made. In the meantime, shoppers are left to keep guessing, and the buzz around the mystery tenant continues to grow.
