Colin James 1,925 Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 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. Link to post Share on other sites
ragwert 386 Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) The 3 year rent reduction is a myth.They were all given between 6-9 months rent free.And from what I have been hearing Beefy boys will be relocating here.

AndyS2992 7 Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 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. Link to post Share on other sites

adamski 37 Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 So, did anyone get any more information on this? Link to post Share on other sites
Colin James 1,925 Posted December 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 We are not 100%. I will try and find out more information asap Link to post Share on other sites
adamski 37 Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 My wife dined in Wagamamas last night. A member of staff there said that her boyfriend worked at Chimichanga and he's been told it's closing in two weeks. Not cast iron information I accept, but smoke/fire??

DILLIGAF 117 Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 This also coincides with the initial rates free contracts that companies agreed too. Perhaps the new rates are just unfeasible, Debenhams next?!! Link to post Share on other sites

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. Edited January 19, 2018 by ragwert Link to post Share on other sites

jbfc 4 Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 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." Link to post Share on other sites
