Default UK Leon has announced it will close about 20 of its restaurants

[Leon has announced it will close about 20
of its restaurants and cut jobs as part
of a major restructure of the
High Street food chain.
The company has appointed Quantuma
as administrators after Leon's original
co-founder John Vincent reacquired the
company last month from Asda.

The move places the future of the
worst-performing of its 71 stores at risk,
but so far no closures have been confirmed
and all stores remain open.

The company employs about 1,000 staff
and Leon has not said how many workers
will be affected but added it would try to find
jobs in the stores that remain open
in the first instance.

Mr Vincent said the company
was losing about £10m a year
and that after an initial review of the company,
the "immediate priority" was to close
"the most unprofitable restaurants".

I am amazed
At the picture in their windows
Their food is well overpriced

I went past the one in Paddington station yesterday but otherwise never see them. They're probably mainly in London

Doesn't really seem like they have much identity in between a cafe and a restaurant
