Carlson Restaurants, the owner of TGI Friday’s, has submitted plans to launch a new concept with the title Ticket Hall, in the former Union Market site in Fulham Broadway.

The group said the concept would be a restaurant where “the food and drinks are lovingly crafted and are as sociable as the atmosphere. The restaurant will be catering for young professionals where quality over value is a key driver”.

TGI Friday’s previously occupied the site from 2005 until 2010, when it left and was replaced by Union Market, the upmarket grocery store.

However, this store ran into financial trouble 18 months after opening and it closed its doors in February last year.

Carlson acquired the remaining 60% stake in TGI’s back in 2011 and has since stated that it hopes to eventually double the size of the business in the UK.
