Gourmet Burger Kitchen (GBK) is set to splash the cash on new kitchen equipment as part of a mini expansion drive that will see it add five restaurants in the next four months.
The openings will take the company past the 50-store mark for the few time. New restaurants will open in Bath, Birmingham, Brent Cross, Gateshead and Islington.
GBK is also engaged in an ongoing refurbishment programme, which involves introducing open kitchens and artisan fittings.
