Description
Restaurant chain Little Chef has announced plans to close 67 of its 161 outlets resulting in up to 600 job cuts. The cuts will affect both full and part-time posts across the UK while the closures were blamed on the weak economy and the location of the branches. The company said it would assist the employees in finding alternative employment where possible.
