Molly Malone’s website shows there is already a Sheffield site in operation; the Derby launch will be Molly Malone’s second opening in the UK.
The website teases of an April 2025 opening after Revolution’s shock closure just over a year ago.


A steady stream of workmen appeared to be entering the building where the entire interior looked to be undergoing a full renovation.

Hide AdGraham Brown from Molly Malone’s shared a social media update shortly before Christmas, saying: ‘We are building another Molly Malone's in the great transport manufacturing city of Derby.


‘What once was a Revolution will soon be full of trinkets, bands, and brown wood. The pigeons on the top two floors have been evicted, smashing has started, and skips are being filled. Opening April.’
