Smollensky's forced to sell flagships

Kitchen Rat can today reveal that administrators at BDO Stoy Hayward have instructed property agent Christie & Co to sell the Smollensky's flagship outlets in Canary Wharf and on the Strand.

The move comes as little surprise as the burger chain's owner Grill Group has made it known for some weeks that it was interested in offers in any of its outlets.

Sources close to Smollensky's expect a "very quick sale", based on the level of interest in the two sites in recent months.

Another one bites the dust...
