Ed's Easy Diner

Ed's Easy Diner, Soho

Ed's Easy Diner is a UK casual restaurant chain selling 50's American diner-style items.

History

The first Ed's Easy Diner was opened by Barry Margolis in London's Soho in 1987.[1]

In 2008 there were just 3 diners, all situated in London. As of April 2014, Ed's Easy Diner had 24 outlets, and by September 2016 they had 59.[1]

In October 2016, the struggling company which was hit by poor sales, and suffered from over-expansion, was purchased by Boparan Restaurant Holdings, which owns Giraffe Restaurants, after it collapsed into administration. The deal saw 26 diners close immediately, and almost 400 jobs lost, but saved 33 diners and 700 jobs.[2]
