Two more retail companies look doomed

TGIs used to be decent but my god it's so shit nowadays.

Diabolical food, proper shit witherapoons level. But whereas Witherapoons charge you a reasonable price for their shite food, TGIs are still wanting to charge you a mortgage.

Before Waxy O’Connor’s opened in Soho the mid-90s the TGI unit at Haymarket took more money than any licensed venue in the country. It used to comfortably take six figures a week in the early nineties, which was an astonishing sum of money back then. In relative terms that’s more than the Manchester and Birmingham Schloss each takes now.

Visited quite a few up and down the country up to about twenty years ago, but as others have said they became increasingly expensive for what they were. Went with my dad to the one next to Wembley after the Cup final last May and was shocked at the cost versus the quality on offer. It was nearly as disappointing as the game!

So not altogether surprising really, but I think it could survive in a smaller format. They’ll have some poorly performing units with huge rents which will have dragged the rest down, so I think the IP will most likely fuck those off and maybe sell the good units (of which there are several) as a job lot in the current format, give or take. Think there’s still probably a market for the brand, albeit in a slimmed down form.

Went to the original one in Sale not long after it opened. Valet parking was a novelty, great atmosphere and food was really good. Went to the one at Ashton Moss last year, walked out after looking at the prices and seeing some of the food on other tables, no comparison.

The one at Ashton was gash
 
Sod TGI Fridays, Tupperware have filed for bankruptcy. I wouldn't mind but I've got 4 parties lined up this week and expecting big orders, especially in the lead up to Christmas.
