Byron Burger to shut nine stores putting hundreds of jobs at risk
Just 12 Byron restaurants will remain open
Byron Burger will shut nine of its restaurants after falling into administration putting hundreds of jobs at risk, its owner has announced.
Famously Proper, the umbrella company which owns the high street burger chain and fried chicken brand Mother Clucker, said 218 jobs would be cut as a result of the closures. Just 12 Byron restaurants will remain open, with around 365 total staff.
The company was set up after private equity firm Calveton rescued Byron from a previous administration in 2020 following the impact of the Covid pandemic.
