Candyfloss machines and photo booths part of TGI Friday's new look
TGI Fridays is launching a "full brand reset" following its acquisition out of administration in October, aiming for a significant comeback.
The transformation includes updating half of its menu, reworking 70 per cent of grill items, and reintroducing "Americana" elements like photo booths and candyfloss machines.
The acquisition by Breal Capital and Calveton UK saved 51 restaurants but resulted in the closure of 35 locations and approximately 1,000 redundancies.
TGI Fridays now operates 49 restaurants with around 2,500 staff, having achieved a leaner business and improved sales since early 2025 due to restructuring.
To mark the relaunch, TGI Fridays will offer a "comeback offer" during Independence Weekend (4-6 July), providing diners with a voucher for a free return meal.
