Viral hit Scots restaurant hits the market just two years after opening
Read on to discover what the place looks like inside FOR SALE Viral hit Scots restaurant hits the market just two years after opening A VIRAL restaurant has hit the market just two years after opening. Jurassic Grill, in Loch Lomond, is a dinosaur-themed restaurant. 2 Jurassic Grill in Loch Lomond has hit the market The chain was founded in 2019 and has other outlets in Kettering, Northamptonshire and Whiteley near Fareham. Inside, the eatery is decorated in prehistoric style and boasts the UK's first Ice Age-themed cocktail and dessert bar. The restaurant seats a total of 150 customers indoors and a further 84 outside. However the branch in Loch Lomond has now been put up for sale. The listing reads: "This is a rare opportunity to acquire a highly distinctive and widely recognised themed restaurant, Jurassic Grill, which has garnered substantial social media presence and customer acclaim since its inception in 2022. "The business was founded with a clear and focused concept: to deliver a truly immersive, dinosaur-themed dining experience that appeals to families, tourists and themed attraction enthusiasts alike. "The concept has proven to be a major success, especially on platforms such as TikTok, where multiple videos have achieved viral status – with one particular clip nearing one million views. "The owner is now seeking to divest for personal reasons unrelated to the performance of the business, presenting a strong opportunity for an incoming operator to continue its growth trajectory or potentially expand the brand further." Elsewhere a Mexican-inspired fast food chain is set to open 100 restaurants across the UK by 2030. Popular Aussie franchise Zambrero entered the UK market in 2021 with a London site, quickly expanding to 12 more across England. Zambrero - known for its customisable burritos and bowls - runs over 300 restaurants in Australia, New Zealand, the US, Ireland and England. While it boasts the title of the largest Mexican restaurant franchise in Ireland, Zambrero is yet to make its mark across the rest of the UK. The chain currently has 13 restaurants around London, Manchester, Birmingham, Reading and Essex. But within the next 12 months, Zambrero plans to open an undisclosed number of other sites - including its first branch in Scotland.

While it boasts the title of the largest Mexican restaurant franchise in Ireland, Zambrero is yet to make its mark across the rest of the UK. The chain currently has 13 restaurants around London, Manchester, Birmingham, Reading and Essex. But within the next 12 months, Zambrero plans to open an undisclosed number of other sites - including its first branch in Scotland. By 2030, the chain aims to reach its target of 100 restaurants in the UK, a move expected to create 1,500 jobs. The business' renewed expansion drive includes signing its first three franchise partners. Emily Teh, CEO of Zambrero UK, told The Caterer: 'We've had a lot of interest in the brand during the last couple of years – and now is the right time for us to expand through our franchise partners and work towards opening 100 restaurants by 2030." She added the business is on the lookout for more area developers and franchise partners to support its expansion goals. Zambrero was founded in 2005 by Aussie philanthropist Dr Sam Prince, then a 21-year-old medical student with less than £12,000 in savings, according to the chain's website. The fast food chain has a "Plate 4 Plate" initiative, whereby a meal is donated to someone in need for every burrito or bowl bought. Pub chain collapses into administration as SIX sites shut their doors for good and 159 job losses Zambrero has so far donated over 93 million meals - a sum expected to reach 100 million later this year. It comes as the business secured a £141m investment from Metric Capital Partners in February 2023. In recent years, people on social media have lined up to taste-test Zambrero against Taco Bell and Wahaca. Meanwhile, Slim Chickens, a major American fast food chain, recently opened four new restaurant sites in the UK. The US franchise started in the Deep South in 2003 and expanded to the UK in 2020. The business announced plans to open 16 more UK sites over the next year in February. The first Slim Chickens site opened on June 26 on 39-40 Wind Street in Swansea. The second branch opened in Ealing, West London, on July 2, followed by a branch in Walton on July 10. The fourth opened in Birmingham's Utilita Arena on July 24.

How Denmark raised its retirement age without sparking protests
Planning an early retirement? You're out of luck if you live in Denmark. The Nordic country recently raised the state pension age to 70, a change that will kick in by 2040. The new legislation means that Danes are on track to become the oldest workers in Europe. It is just the latest in a series of increases after the Scandinavian country linked its retirement age to life expectancy in 2006 and legislated that it should be reviewed every five years. The welfare agreement of 2006 attempted to protect the country's finances and set pensions spending on a sustainable path. Without action, there were concerns that the cost of the state pension could spiral out of control as Danes lived longer but paid the same amount of lifetime taxes. It could be a glimpse into Britain's future. Here, the state pension age is currently 66 and scheduled to gradually rise to 68 by 2046. But calls are growing louder for the retirement aged to be raised further and faster. Without action, the cost of the expensive triple lock on pensions will balloon and force either higher taxes or cut backs elsewhere. 'I don't think we can really afford to [wait to the 2040s], to be frank,' Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader, told The Telegraph last week. 'If there is a sudden economic miracle, then it might change that. But it does not look to be happening any time soon.' Liz Kendall, the Work and Pensions Secretary, announced a review into the state pension age last week in an effort to address the problem. 'There's kind of cross party consensus that ... we need to increase the state pension age to deal with the rising cost of the state pension system,' says Heidi Karjalainen, an economist at the Institute for Fiscal Studies. Such changes are controversial. In 2023, Jeremy Hunt, the then chancellor, shelved plans to lift the state pension age after a slump in life expectancy left ministers struggling to justify the change. In France, attempts to raise the retirement age have bought people out onto the streets in the thousands. Raising the retirement age to 70 has not led to fiery demonstrations on the streets of Copenhagen, however. The increase 'hasn't come as a surprise to anyone' given the 2006 legislation, says Damoun Ashournia, the chief economist at the Danish Trade Union Confederation. Denmark is one of nine OECD countries that currently links the retirement age to average life expectancy, effectively maintaining a fiscal brake on pension spending. The Nordic nation legislates that an average of 14.5 years should be spent in retirement. For every year increase in life expectancy in Denmark, the retirement age also rises by one year. Wouter De Tavernier, a pensions economist at the OECD, says the link prevents governments having to rerun difficult political debates every five or 10 years and helps countries maintain financial stability with their pensions system. 'It avoids having to restart the same discussions over and over again, and therefore making long term financial sustainability dependent on political decisions and political calculations about what might or might not be popular in the elections.' Yet even in Demark, there are limits. 'When we ask workers, the vast majority, 75pc, are against this increase,' says Ashournia. 'They worry that they won't be able to work until the retirement age, when we increase it by such an amount.' Karjalainen says asking people to retire at 70 is as much a psychological challenge as it is an actual problem. It is a new decade and one that feels far older to most people. 'I think the higher the state pension age goes, just kind of psychologically, people think of someone aged 65 and someone aged 70 as kind of very different types of people,' she says. However, it is not just about what voters will bear. There are physiological differences between 65 and 70. For instance, in the UK the rate of dementia stands at 1.7pc for those aged 65 to 69 years old but climbs to 3pc for 70 to 74-year-olds. 'We can't just keep increasing the retirement age forever, because it becomes unrealistic for workers to work for so long,' says Ashournia. The Danish Trade Union Confederation now wants the 2006 agreement to be softened, with the retirement age only rising by nine or 10 months for every year the life expectancy increases. Mette Frederiksen, Denmark's prime minister, has conceded that the policy may be at its limit. 'We no longer believe that the retirement age should be increased automatically,' she said in August last year. 'You can't just keep saying that people have to work a year longer.' Britain's costly dilemma In the UK, the bigger concern in policy circles is whether the Government can afford not to make people retire at 70. Spending on the state pension is only forecast to grow as a result of the costly triple lock, which guarantees annual increases by the highest of either average earnings growth, inflation or 2.5pc, whichever is highest. The UK is estimated to have spent 4.9pc of its GDP on the state pension for the 2024/25 financial year. On the current trajectory, the cost is forecast to reach 6.3pc of GDP by 2054/55. A 2023 independent report into the state pension age carried out by Baroness Rolfe recommended that the government should cap pension spending at 6pc of GDP to prevent overspending. It recommended raising the state pension age to 69 to ensure financial sustainability. However, a later retirement age raises questions about fairness. While the average life expectancy in the UK stands at 78.8 years for men and 82.8 years for women, there is significant variation across the country. Men in Blackpool and Glasgow city have some of the lowest rates of life expectancy in the UK, at 73.1 years and 73.6 years respectively. Any move to bring the state pension age in line with Denmark is likely to be met with significant pushback in the UK. Yet De Tavernier believes retirement at 70 will eventually reach Britain if life expectancy continues to rise. 'I think the discussion is more about in which time frame this will happen, and how do you get there? Do you get there by politics deciding on a time frame? Do you get there by linking a retirement age to life expectancy?' he says. The nation's pensions are heading towards a 'big fiscal challenge' that needs to be addressed, says David Sinclair, the chief executive of the International Longevity Centre. 'The fact that our politicians are too scared to talk about what retirement is like, and how we might need to be supporting work longer, and how we might need to be healthier, just feels like an utter failure of our entire political classes.' Ashournia says 'the vast majority' of Danish Trade Union Confederation members 'want to be working until the retirement age [and] even longer, if possible.' 'But today, two thirds retire prior to the retirement age because they cannot continue, or they choose to retire because they have saved sufficient funds. So the challenge for us is: how do we ensure that workers are able to continue to work until the retirement age – that's under the current retirement age, which is 67 today. 'When we increase the retirement age in the future, this problem is just going to be become bigger.'
