Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, Jennie says she is going into business with her boyfriend Chris Farr to launch the restaurant in Manchester city centre. She says: “Ever since we’ve met, we’ve talked about the idea of opening our own restaurant non-stop, to do something as a little team together. People often ask us if we are going to get married, but I actually think this is more of a commitment to do something like this together.”
Jennie's boyfriend Chris previously ran a restaurant in Eccles and he'll oversee the day-to-day running of the business, while Jennie will be there as much as she can in between her Street commitments.
The couple have chosen a site on Old Bank Street near St Ann’s Square and plan to call it Annie’s, with plans to launch the business in the autumn.
