Sep-GBK-Wimpy
One of the biggest restaurant deals of the year was made in September with the purchase of the 76-strong Gourmet Burger Kitchen (GBK) chain by Wimpy owner Famous Brands for £120m.
While the move saw two burger restaurants come under the ownership of one company, it had and is expected to have minimal impact on either with GBK CEO Alasdair Murdoch telling BigHospitality in October that it was 'business as usual' at the company.
