The roll\u2011out, which includes opening discounts and a repeatable promotions playbook, follows a Covent Garden flagship earlier in 2025 and the launch of a dedicated catering arm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>atis, the fast\u2011growing, health\u2011focused restaurant group, has announced a further London push with three new sites due to open this autumn, beginning with atis Southbank on 26 August 2025. According to the company announcement, the Southbank launch will be marked with promotional offers: the first 100 customers will receive a free bowl or plate and there will be 50% off bowls and plates between 11am and 3pm from 26\u201331 August (terms and conditions apply). The openings in Kings Cross and North Audley Street are scheduled for September, and the business says the trio will take its London estate to 15 sites by the end of the summer. <\/p>\n<p>The brand presents itself as a flavour\u2011first, community\u2011centred operator that specialises in build\u2011your\u2011own bowls, protein plates and plant\u2011forward dishes designed for quick lunch, grab\u2011and\u2011go and casual dinner occasions. According to its website, atis began in Shoreditch in 2019 and has leaned hard on design\u2011led spaces and seasonal menus as it scales across central London. The Southbank site \u2014 described in promotional material as \u201cmoments from the Thames\u201d \u2014 has been positioned by the company as an ideal riverside outlet for commuters, tourists and local office workers.<\/p>\n<p>Co\u2011founder Eleanor Warder framed the expansion as a key moment for the business. Speaking to Hospitality &amp; Catering News, she said: \u201cThis summer marks a big milestone for us\u2026 Southbank is the next step in bringing this to Londoners, and it kicks off a fast\u2011paced wave of new openings this autumn.\u201d The company claims the roll\u2011out will cement its position as one of the capital\u2019s fastest\u2011growing food brands; past reporting shows the move is part of a steady acceleration that included a flagship Covent Garden opening earlier in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>That Covent Garden launch was presented as a strategic milestone for atis: industry coverage reported the site opened in March 2025 as the group\u2019s tenth London restaurant and included a site\u2011exclusive bowl and short\u2011term opening discounts. Those precedents \u2014 exclusive menu items and temporary discounts at new stores \u2014 mirror the promotional approach planned for Southbank and suggest a repeatable playbook as atis expands its footprint.<\/p>\n<p>Across its menu, atis emphasises customer choice and variety. The company\u2019s menu page outlines a system in which diners choose two bases, up to four core ingredients, optional cold premiums and hot proteins, then finish with dressings and crunchy toppings. Protein options listed by the brand include items such as blackened chicken, garlic\u2011butter steak and miso orange salmon alongside vegan proteins like maple\u2011ginger tofu and tempeh; seasonal specials and add\u2011ons are also highlighted. The official site also promotes multiple fulfilment channels \u2014 delivery, click\u2011and\u2011collect and in\u2011store kiosks \u2014 reflecting a hybrid model common in fast\u2011casual chains.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the shopfront roll\u2011out, atis has moved into new commercial channels this year. In June 2025 the company launched a dedicated catering arm to serve group orders and events across central London, offering chicken and vegetarian feasts and build\u2011your\u2011own options for larger gatherings. That diversification follows the pattern of rapid site growth seen since 2019 and aims to broaden revenue beyond walk\u2011in trade.<\/p>\n<p>The upshot for competitors and landlords is a brand that is attempting to convert fast\u2011casual momentum into a fuller urban network and a multi\u2011channel business. Industry coverage earlier in 2025 noted atis\u2019s intent to scale in core central London neighbourhoods and to test exclusive menu items and opening promotions as part of its expansion playbook. While the company frames the programme as proof of rising consumer appetite for healthier, flavour\u2011led fast food, independent observers will be watching whether the model sustains margin and footfall across a larger estate.<\/p>\n<p>Practical details: atis Southbank is scheduled to open on 26 August 2025; the brand\u2019s announcement sets out the launch offers and encourages customers to check local terms and the company\u2019s channels for the latest opening times, loyalty sign\u2011ups and delivery options.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83d\udccc Reference Map:<\/h3>\n<h2>Reference Map:<\/h2>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.noahwire.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Noah Wire Services<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"mt-0\">Noah Fact Check Pro<\/h3>\n<p class=\"text-sm\">The draft above was created using the information available at the time the story first<br \/>\n        emerged.
