Director Jaswinder Choongh said: “The restaurants have closed and will not be re-opening again.<\/p>\n

“The two main reasons for the closure were the overheads of running such big restaurants and the emergence of cheaper imitations which have taken a larger share of the market.”<\/p>\n

He added: “”I’d like to thank customers for coming to Jimmy Spices over the years.<\/p>\n

“We feel sorry that we have let them down.”<\/p>\n

The concept was based on the original Broad Street based restaurant, which was founded in 2006.<\/p>\n

The Regency Wharf establishment will not be affected by the closures and will remain open, due to being operated by the separate East & West Restaurants Midlands.<\/p>\n

The three closing restaurants confirmed they were under operation of Peppercorn Leisure group, at the time of closure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
