TGI Friday’s, the Karen Forrester-led group, has become the latest brand to sign up to open at Gloucester Quays.

The 61-strong group has secured a 5,000sq ft unit at the scheme, which currently also home to an Ed’s Easy Diner, Zizzi, Chimichanga, The Real China and Loungers’ Portivo Lounge.

Forrester, UK managing director, said: “Five years ago we had no pipeline of future sites at all. Landlords saw us as very dated and just not sexy enough. Now we’re a credible brand again and can decide where we want to open.”

The company is hoping to double the number of restaurants it has in the UK by 2020.

David Muslin at CBRE acted for TGI’s.
