TGI Fridays Launches New Menu in Comeback After Rescue
- TGI Fridays UK relaunched with a new menu and full brand reset on July 4, 2025, following a rescue purchase by private equity firms.
- The rescue deal in October 2024 saw Breal Capital and Calveton UK acquire 51 restaurants after the previous operator fell into administration.
- The business restructured over the past eight months, reducing overhead costs, closing 35 sites, and investing in staff while updating half the dishes and 70% of grill items.
- Chief executive Julie McEwan called this an “exciting moment” and a “full brand reset” that reinforces TGI Fridays’ heritage of bold flavour and hospitality.
- Since early 2025, sales have improved, and a comeback offer including free return meal vouchers over Independence Weekend supports attracting loyal and new guests.
