Manchester’s beloved Caribbean gem, Jerk Junction, is set to spice up the Trafford Centre this September.

Known for its authentic and mouth-watering Caribbean cuisine, this Chorlton favourite is expanding its reach to one of Manchester’s busiest shopping destinations.

Jerk Junction, already a hit in Wilmslow and Media City, is taking a bold step as it ventures into the vibrant Orient food court at Trafford Centre.

Founder Jake Shaffi shares the excitement: “The Trafford Centre is iconic, especially its food court.

“There’s a huge gap for authentic Jamaican food, and we’re proud to fill it!

“This new location is a significant milestone for us, positioning Jerk Junction alongside global brands and bringing the heat of Jamaican cuisine to a wider audience.

“We can’t wait to share our passion for authentic Caribbean food with new customers and continue our mission to make it more accessible across the UK.”

“That means rice and peas, our famous jerk chicken, and longtime favourite curry goat, prepared daily in our on-site jerk house. And it’s always big portions and big love.”

Jerk Junction promises to serve up delicious, juicy spicy dishes, alongside the positive vibes – all put together in an original jerk drum.
