Prezzo ,which was taken private by TPG Capital earlier this year, has announced it will open 11 new sites between now and the New Year.
The restaurants will be opening in Farnborough, Blackpool, Wickford, Staines, Newport, Redditch, Yate, Bridgnorth, Abergavenny, Tewkesbury and Malvern.
The openings will create approximately 175 full and part-time jobs.
Prezzo interim chief executive, Dirk Eller, said: “We are delighted to be opening eleven new restaurants by year end and creating so many additional jobs.
“The restaurants are in locations where we are not yet represented and we look forward to opening our doors and welcoming in many new guests.
“Our restaurants continue to prove very popular and we believe there is significant scope to open more Prezzo restaurants in the months and years to come.”
With these additions, the total restaurant count for the Prezzo brand increases to approximately 230 and for the group overall (including the Chimichanga brand) to approximately 270.
TPG took the c250-strong group private last in February in a £303.7m deal.
