Chiquito, which has 22 UK locations, has faced financial difficulty in recent years.

In 2020, The Restaurant Group, which owns the Chiquito brand, went into administration. A total of 61 Chiquito sites remained shut after the Covid-19 lockdown while around 20, which are not part of the business, reopened afterwards. Last month, the company closed a further four Chiquito locations across the country.
