The American-style restaurant chain has put almost 90 restaurants up for sale
The UK operator of TGI Fridays has collapsed into administration - with 87 restaurants including a number in Greater Manchester set to be sold.
Of the 87 branches, seven are in Greater Manchester including the Trafford Centre and Manchester Royal Exchange sites. These sales were planned to be completed by the end of this month, although it is not clear at this stage whether some or all of the restaurants are likely to find a buyer. The chain will remain open as normal while the administration process starts. In a statement issued to the London Stock Exchange, Hostmore said: "The board is immensely proud of all Hostmore colleagues, both in store and in the support centre, who worked tirelessly to execute a turnaround programme over the past 18 months and to deliver a successful result on the proposed acquisition of TGI Fridays, Inc.
