A branch serving food and drink are expanding across the UK, with new sites popping up on several high streets.

Loungers PLC have announced they are expanding into 10 new locations to add to their current 220 strong catalogue. Currently there are 238 Lounges, 36 Cosy Clubs and three Brightsides. The openings are expected to take place over the next few months, meaning some punters can get in before Christmas for their parties. In fact, one restaurant opened its doors earlier this week.

The last restaurant is expected to open its doors in March 2025, which will expand Loungers PLC's portfolio to 249 venues. In there, customers can enjoy a variety of food and drink. According to their website, they provide everything from "zingy salads to massive burgers with all the trimmings."
