Shop liked by Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa set to reopen in Leeds

A high end shop enjoyed by Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa has reopened in Leeds city centre.

Sound Leisure has a pop up store back in Victoria Gate - as it returns for the third time in two years.

The seven-week long tenancy will showcase the Leeds-based company’s range of handcrafted machines, displaying a range of CD, vinyl 45, LP and digital playing jukeboxes alongside an assortment of original vinyl artwork, petrol pumps, neon signs, pool tables, football tables and arcade machines.

Back in 2018, Leeds United coach Marcelo Bielsa dropped by to show some support to the business.

The 42-year-old business Sound Leisure manufactures a wide range of products from jukeboxes to children’s play areas in its Cross Gates base.

Back in January, we visited their factory to see how their products are made.

Discussing their new shop, Chris Black said: “We are delighted to be able to showcase a wide range of our hand built classic jukeboxes in our hometown of Leeds.

“Sound Leisure’s range of bespoke machines appeal to a growing audience of music lovers around the world who appreciate quality craftsmanship, the beautiful styling of the 40s and 50s eras with the flexibility that modern technology and a hand-built product brings.

“We are looking forward to welcoming visitors and being able to demonstrate the unique sound and the memories that the machines evoke”

We’ll keep our eyes peeled to see whether Bielsa or anyone else famous pays a visit to Sound Leisure’s new shop.
