Northfield’s Allegro Lounge will not reopen following its closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Loungers have announced.
Allegro Lounge opened in Bristol Road South in 2018 but will be one of two lounges not reopening.
Loungers will reopen 165 other sites across the UK – 136 Lounges and 29 Cosy Clubs – by 5th August.
A statement on the company’s reopening status read: “We have [..] closed Allegro Lounge which hasn’t performed as we had hoped since opening in 2018. Whilst we are always willing to give each site time to mature, Northfield has proven to be the wrong location for a Lounge and we will ensure we learn from that.”
Nick Collins, Chief Executive of Loungers, said: “It remains our view that Loungers is well placed coming out of lockdown and we are optimistic with regards to future trading and the continued planned growth of both our Lounge and Cosy Club brands. Whilst in the short term our roll out programme will be considerably more conservative, we are excited to be opening our 30th Cosy Club in Brindley Place, Birmingham on 10 August. We welcome the further sector support announced by the Government last week which is timely and will assist us in re-building momentum over the weeks and months ahead.”
