[The billionaire Issa brothers who own Asda
have bought the British fast food chain, Leon.
More than 70 Leon restaurants across
the UK and Europe have been sold to
the brothers' giant petrol forecourt business EG Group.
In a joint statement, Mohsin Issa
and Zuber Issa said the firm
was a "fantastic brand we have long admired".
Leon boss John Vincent, who co-founded
the firm in 2004, said: "In some ways this is a sad day for me."
"We have tried hard,
done some good things,
made a healthy amount of mistakes,
and built a business that quite a
few people are kind enough to
say that they love," he added.
The deal includes 42 company-owned restaurants,
as well as 29 franchise sites which
are mainly found in airports and train stations
across the UK and a handful of
European countries such as the Netherlands and Spain.]
