A FAST growing bakery chain has signed the lease for a Winchester store.
Wenzel’s The Bakers will be moving into the former TSB unit in the High Street, following a deal with Winchester estate agency Goadsby.
Established in 1975, Wenzel’s now has more than 100 stores, including ones in Whiteley, Basingstoke and Portsmouth.
The London-born family business offers sweet and savoury baked goods from fondant fancies and unicorn cakes to sausage rolls and sandwiches.

Natalie Kyle of Goadsby said: “This deal shows continued strong demand for retail units in Winchester and we wish Wenzel’s every success.”
The TSB unit, on the corner next to Sainsbury's, has been left empty for two years, with Winchester being one of the bank’s 164 branch closures across the country in 2021.
Before being a bank, 141 High Street had been a Burger King for a while.
Wenzel’s has been contacted for comment and its expected opening date. Goadsby expects work to start in the coming weeks.
