A rescue deal for TGI Fridays has seen 51 restaurants acquired by new owners after the previous UK operator collapsed into administration.
However, 35 restaurants were not included in the sale and have been shut immediately, resulting in more than 1,000 redundancies.
New owners Breal Capital and Calveton UK said they were looking forward to modernising the business, which first launched in New York in 1965.
