Red Hot World Buffet, the operator of seven buffet restaurants, has announced plans to have 25 restaurants by 2015.
The company, which opened its first site in 2004 and is led by Parmjit and Helen Dhaliwal, is also now in talks with Luke Johnson over a possible investment.
Parmjit told The Times: “We’re now looking at the next phase of the business. Once the investment process is complete, it will professionalise the company.”
Red Hot World Buffet serves two million customers a year – its most recent Nottingham Cornerhouse opening served 80,000 people in its first ten weeks of opening. Another opening is planned for Leicester this year and the company is eyeing sites in Glasgow and Sheffield.
