Hostmore plc

Hostmore is a growing hospitality business with its current operations focused on the American-themed casual dining brand, 'Fridays', and the cocktail-led bar and restaurant brand, '63rd+1st'.  While Fridays has been trading for over three decades in the UK, Hostmore was established in 2021 to provide a platform for the development of hospitality brands under the leadership of an experienced management team that has a track record of building businesses in the hospitality and leisure sectors.  Hostmore's businesses are defined by their iconic brand experience and vibrant heritage. As of 11 April 2022, Hostmore operates 88 restaurants in the United Kingdom and Jersey, the majority of which are in high footfall locations, including retail parks, shopping centres and city centres.  Hostmore is seeking to add rapidly growing, early-stage businesses to its portfolio of complementary hospitality brands, as well as to extend its offering in other experience-led, leisure concepts, and exploring opportunities with TGI Friday's, Inc., the franchisor of Fridays, to expand its existing brands into new franchise territories.
