Almost 20 well-known restaurants will shut their doors for the last time in a mass closure. The chains Frankie & Benny’s, Chiquito and Firejacks have announced that the outlets will cease trading after their last shifts on Saturday, May 27.
They are all owned by The Restaurant Group (TRG) which has said the decision was made because they were loss-making branches. The closures are set to save the company around £5 million.
Earlier this year it revealed a total of 35 were set to close and now it has brought forward plans to close the 18 branches tomorrow. TRG said it had negotiated to exit a number of contacts ahead of schedule, the Mirror reports.
