The new cafe-bar will be located in the former Boots store and adjoining unit.
A new cafe-bar and restaurant is due to open in a Cheshire town, creating up to 30 jobs.
Loungers have applied for planning permission for the new venue, taking over the former Boots store on Bridge Street in Congleton and the vacant former gift shop next door.
The application is due to be considered by Cheshire East Council planning officers in the near future.
Loungers UK Limited operates more than 230 sites across the country through two brands, The Lounges and The Cosy Clubs.
It already has venues in Wilmslow, Nantwich, Macclesfield and Warrington.
The company already has other venues in Cheshire, including Unico Lounge in Wilmslow
A design and access statement submitted of the forthcoming Congleton venue, stated: “Each new Lounge opening results in an investment of nearly £1m into the local high street and the creation of up to 30 new jobs on average.”
It said these would include a variety of roles – from leadership positions to front of house staff.
“These staff will also have available to them a very high standard of training with regards to health and safety, licensing etc which will help prepare them for other positions in the future,” the planning document added.
It said the Lounges were each uniquely designed, with an emphasis on creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for families “as well as four-legged friends”.
“The aim of every Lounge is to tie in with local customers, so that they can make of the Lounge what they will, whether a customer wants to come in for a coffee after dropping children to school, a working lunch or a tipple after work.”
The statement added: “There will be no adverse effects on the character of the area, amenities of residential occupiers, community safety and/or highway safety.
“The proposals are considered to complement the wider area which falls in a town centre location alongside a mixture of Class E establishments including other cafes restaurants.
“There will be no impact on highways as part of the scheme.”
