A NEW restaurant will create up to 90 new jobs when it opens its second branch in Southampton, it has been revealed.

TGI Fridays, the American-style restaurant, has confirmed that it will open its latest restaurant in the city’s new Westquay food and leisure complex towards the end of February.

The chain say the new eatery will have a different interior look to its other outlet at West Quay Park.

David Carroll, property director for TGI Fridays UK said: “We are so excited to open our second restaurant in Southampton where there’s a huge appetite for Fridays. What’s even more exciting is how different this new Fridays will be for locals, and we can’t wait to open our doors.”

The restaurant will also create 90 new jobs in the kitchen, bar and restaurant floor.

David Carroll said: “We are looking to recruit a brilliant selection of new team members. We offer industry-leading training and careers, not just jobs. Anyone looking to start or continue their career in hospitality should get in touch.”

The restaurant will also feature new dishes as part of the new-look-and-feel dining experience, including American pancakes, Jack Daniels’ American Breakfast and a Prosecco brunch between 11am and 2pm.

The chain was originally founded in New York in 1965 before expanding to the UK with its first restaurant opening its doors in Birmingham in 1986. There are now 77 Fridays open throughout the UK.
