Chimichanga may close in the New Year


Recommended Posts

We spoke with the staff at the Mexican food giant Chimichanga this evening following rumours on social media that they will be closing their restaurant at the Old Market Hereford in the New Year.

We are informed by staff that a burger restaurant may be opening in their place but as we have stated this is only a rumour and nothing has yet been confirmed.

Management have said it is false and Beefy Boys have also said they have no plans on moving anywhere. Your Herefordshire has a poor track record so I personally wouldn't believe any of the BS they spew for attention.

 

Which management?

This also coincides with the initial rates free contracts that companies agreed too. Perhaps the new rates are just unfeasible, Debenhams next?!!

That's incorrect.They were all given between 6&9 months reduced rent.

Chimichanga are not closing.

Debenhams have a 30 year lease & unless the whole company collapses they ain't going anywhere.

No

I'm part of the OLM customer/management meetings and from what was said at the last meeting the rumors were false

and Chimichengas were going nowhere,Beefy boys were not relocating there and were perfectly happy with the unit they have.
The next meeting in April will be very interesting.

From: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/feb/28/prezzo-restaurant-chain-to-close-a-third-of-its-uk-branches yesterday:

"The Italian restaurant chain Prezzo is to close a third of its 300 UK branches, putting about 1,000 jobs at risk, the latest victim of the casual dining crunch.

The chain, owned by the US private equity group TPG Capital, hopes to engineer a turnaround plan echoing steps taken by the burger chain Byron and Jamie’s Italian to keep themselves afloat.

Prezzo’s creditors will be asked to approve proposals under which its restaurants’ landlords accept rent reductions.

About 100 unprofitable outlets are likely to close altogether, including all branches of its Tex-Mex offshoot, Chimichanga, in an attempt to put the business on a sound long-term financial footing.

 

While landlords have yet to agree to the plan – known as a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) – it is expected to result in about 1,000 of the 4,500-strong UK workforce losing their jobs.

Sources close to the company said staff would be transferred to the surviving restaurants where possible."
