Loungers says it is on track to open its projected 34 new sites in current financial year, with four sites having opened since its 200th Lounge opening on 13 September.

The all-day restaurant and bar operator has recently opened three new Lounge sites are in Louth in Lincolnshire, Carlisle (pictured above), and Hexham as well as a Cosy Club in Oxford, its 36th venue under the Cosy Club brand. 

“Our accelerated site roll-out plan remains firmly on track, and we’re delighted with the four new sites that we’ve opened in the last few weeks,” says Nick Collins, CEO of Loungers.

“It’s particularly pleasing to be increasing our presence in the North through the openings in Carlisle and Hexham, and we see significant potential for more sites in both the North West and the North East. 

“It’s also great to be finally opening a Cosy Club in Oxford. It’s a city that’s been on our list for quite some time and we’ve been really pleased with trade in its first few weeks. Our ambitions for Oxford don’t end there and, in time, we see scope for bringing at least four new Lounge sites to the suburbs of the city.”  

Loungers, which was last year named Restaurant Group of the Year at the annual R200 Awards, recently said there was scope for at least 600 Lounges across the UK.
