Location quality
Footfall, catchment, and the strength of the surrounding operators.
Property & development
Great hospitality starts with great locations
We are an active acquirer of restaurant, leisure and commercial property across the United Kingdom — leasehold for our own operations and freehold for long-term investment.
Our approach
We look at property the way an operator does
Most buyers assess a building. We assess a business — because we are the ones who will have to run it.
We know early whether something works, so we do not waste an agent's time and we do not renegotiate late. Over time we intend to hold freehold and long-leasehold assets alongside our operating businesses.
What we look for
A broad view, deliberately
Operating sites, commercial investments, and development or change-of-use opportunities — anywhere in the United Kingdom.
High street, retail park, shopping centre, drive-thru or standalone. If an opportunity is strong we judge it on its merits, not against a checklist.
What matters more than the specification
Long-term fundamentals
Assets we would be content to hold, not just trade.
Speed and certainty
Decisions made directly by our directors, with funding and advisers already in place.
Agents and landlords: please add us to your mailing lists. We would rather see an opportunity and decline it than never be shown it.
Landlord partnerships
A tenant you can rely on
What landlords and their agents can expect from AKI — before, during and after a deal.
Institutional-grade delivery
We work directly with institutional landlords and major shopping centre operators.
Funded and advised
Banking facilities in place, with legal, design and surveying advisers appointed.
Direct decision-making
You deal with the directors, not a committee. Terms are agreed quickly and honoured.
