Fast-food chain Leon is planning to close several of its 71 restaurants as it faces administration after incurring nearly £21 million in losses over the past two years. The company, recently bought back by co-founder John Vincent from Asda, aims to restructure and prioritize reducing loss-making locations. Leon attributes its struggles to high taxes, increased working-from-home trends, and weak consumer spending, while acknowledging neglect under previous ownership. Job losses are expected, although efforts will be made to reassign staff within the brand.
