Bar and restaurant chain Loungers has said it is on track to open 30 new sites this financial year, after reporting “industry-leading” sales growth.
The Bristol-founded group said it had already opened 11 new sites, comprising eight Lounge cafe-bars and three Cosy Club restaurant-bars, since April, taking its total portfolio to 206.
Bosses said the business continued to “significantly outperform” the market in the six months to October 2, delivering a 17% rise in like-for-like sales, when compared to pre-pandemic levels during the same period in 2019.
