More than 1,000 of TGI Fridays’ UK staff will be made redundant despite a rescue deal from the owners of restaurant group D&D London.
They have bought the UK operator of the American-themed chain, after its owner fell into administration last month.
The deal will save nearly 2,400 jobs at 51 of the 87 restaurants.
However, the administrators, Teneo, said the other branches have been closed with immediate effect.
