Almost Famous, which had branches in Manchester, Leeds, and Liverpool, revealed the "heartbreaking" news that it was shutting all sites after building up debts during the coronavirus pandemic, rising costs, and fewer people being able to afford to dine out.
In his statement released by co-founder Beau Myers last month, announcing the closures, he said: "It is with broken hearts and tearful eyes that we must announce the closure of Almost Famous.
D2 managing director Daniel Kelly said: “We’re buzzing to get Almost Famous back - hire as many of the old team as we can, get the grills on and the burgers flying out.
In the latest update this week, it has now been confirmed that the Almost Famous branches in the Manchester Northern Quarter and Liverpool have been acquired by Liverpool-based firm D2.
We’re here to bring back the legendary AF experience - killer service, next-level food, and all the chaotic, messy, unforgettable vibes that made Almost Famous, well… Famous.”.
