(Picture: PA Archive)The owner of the Wagamama’s chain of Japanese-style eateries is buying Barburrito, the Mexican dining chain, for £7 million in cash and plans to double the number of outlets in an expansion focused on the south of England.
The Restaurant Group (TRG) said Barburrito, was “well aligned” with current consumer trends for healthy eating and customisable cuisine. TRG also runs the Frankie & Benny’s diners and Chiquito, another Mexican-themed outlet.
