One Northamptonshire branch saved and one closes as TGI Fridays goes bust
The Sixfields Northampton branch is to shut whilst Rushen Lakes is saved from closure.
A rescue deal for TGI Fridays has seen 51 restaurants acquired by new owners after the previous UK operator collapsed into administration.
The Northamptonshire branch at Rushen Lakes is one of those saved.
However, 35 restaurants were not included in the sale and have been shut immediately, resulting in more than 1,000 redundancies.
They include the Northampton site at Sixfields.
New owners Breal Capital and Calveton UK said they were looking forward to modernising the business, which first launched in New York in 1965.
