Region's Frankie & Benny's survives closures, along with Chiquito

Parent company, The Restaurant Group, announced it will close 33 restaurants nationwide, but none are in the Mansfield or Ashfield area.

Mansfield has both a Frankie & Benny’s and Chiquito at Mansfield Leisure Park, while another Frankie and Benny’s is on Mansfield Road in Sutton.

Chiquito, a Mexican bar and grill, only opened in Mansfield last year.

The Restaurant Group announced the decision after a 3.9 per cent slide in like-for-like sales for the half year to July 3, 2016.

The company blamed above-market food pricing and a reduction in value offers for the slump, and said it would look to re-introduce more offers.
