3 July 2020
Bella Italia and Café Rouge owner, Casual Dining Group, has gone into administration. This has meant 91 outlets to close immediately and 1,900 of the 6,000 staff to lose their jobs.
The 91 restaurants are located mainly in England, with a few in Scotland and Wales. The remaining 159 of the groups 250 outlets will remain open.
Administrators, Alix Partners, are looking for any interested parties to make offers for all, or part of the business.
It is reported that already multiple offers have been received of which the business hopes to pursue in efforts to rescue itself.
Chief executive, James Spragg said: ‘’We are acutely aware of our duty to all employees and recognise that this is an incredibly difficult time for them.’’
He stresses he will do all he can, working alongside and supporting the administrators, aiming to preserve as much employment as possible.
The ‘’extreme operating environment’’ for the casual dining sector, among others, due to coronavirus forcing restaurants to shut since the start of March, is blamed.
