Candyfloss machines and photo booths part of TGI Friday’s new look

TGI Fridays
  • 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.
