Popular Luton burger bar set to close
The 1950s-themed chain sells burgers, hot dogs, milkshakes, fries, breakfast and desserts and only opened in June last year.
The closure is one of 26 across the UK following a pre-packaged sale of the brand to Giraffe Concepts, owned by food industry tycoon Ranjit Boparan.
