TGI Fridays Collapses Into Administration: 87 Sites At Risk

TGI Fridays, the popular casual dining chain, has collapsed into administration, putting 87 sites at risk. The company, which has over 1,000 restaurants in 60 countries, will continue to trade while a buyer is sought.

TGI Fridays has been struggling for some time, and its financial woes have been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. In the UK, the company has been hit by a combination of factors, including rising food and labour costs, increasing competition, and a decline in consumer spending.

The collapse of TGI Fridays is a blow to the UK casual dining sector, which is already facing a number of challenges. Many other chains have struggled in recent years, and it is likely that there will be more casualties in the future.
