Mollie’s is a bold, modern diner and motel concept, with locations on the roadside and in city centres. Originally conceived by Nick Jones, founder of Soho House, the brand was later acquired by a visionary team determined to elevate the idea into a unique, disruptive hospitality experience. Offering outstanding value and an experience unlike anything else, Mollie’s delivers a refreshing take on dining and staying away - hotel, restaurant and bar - uk hospitality.
As a London branding agency specialising in creating transformative brands, we were invited - at the very last moment - to pitch for this exciting project. With just days to understand the offer, we visited the Oxford flagship to experience the brand first-hand. Inspired by what we discovered, we developed a compelling concept over a single weekend, built on inclusivity, surprise, and delightful contrasts.
The vision for Mollie’s was to create an unforgettable dining and hotel / motel experience that could scale nationwide—and potentially globally. While rooted in the charm of the American diner, the new brand needed to express a more refined, sophisticated take on Americana: stylish, modern, and cool.
