Three new businesses have opened in Colchester city centre, Essex, during the week leading up to 18 March 2026. This boost to the high street includes a variety of new shopping and dining options for local residents. Colchester City Council is encouraging people to visit these new sites to help support the local economy.

Among the recent additions is the restaurant chain Chopstix, which welcomed its first customers on 12 March 2026. This new branch is located in the Culver Square Shopping Centre, which has become a key hub for recent retail activity in the city.

The city centre is expected to see further growth soon with the confirmed opening of a new fish and chip shop. These developments are part of an ongoing effort to bring more variety to the shopping area and attract more visitors back to the local streets.

Local officials are using social media to keep residents informed about the latest changes and business openings. By highlighting these new additions, the council aims to create a more vibrant environment for everyone in the community.
