Fridays to launch first Fridays and Go concept in Dundee

Fridays is opening its first ‘Fridays and Go’ Quick Service Restaurant (‘QSR’) in Dundee.

The restaurant, part of newly listed Hostmore, will be on Reform Street and span approximately 2,600 sq ft. It is expected to open in March and will offer items from the Fridays menu to guests to takeaway or eat in.

Food and drink will be available to order digitally, with touchscreens offering order and pay technology, and will be served in recyclable and compostable packaging. Click and collect and delivery services will also be supported at the Dundee site.

The menu will include chicken wings, nachos, sesame chicken strips and burgers, as well as coffee and milkshakes. New items will also include ‘bucket of bones’ and a ‘boneless chicken dog’.

The restaurant is expected to create 25 full- and part-time jobs. Fridays aims to open up to 30 additional QSR sites across the UK in the next three years.

Robert Cook, Fridays chief executive, said: “We are extremely excited to be launching the first ever Fridays and Go in Dundee – a vibrant city with a proud history of jute, jam and journalism, fantastic people, two great football teams and a bustling student community.

“We are always looking to offer customers new experiences under the Fridays umbrella. Fridays and Go will deliver our best ever food at speed for customers on the move, with the iconic Fridays experience remaining a constant. We can’t wait to launch this new concept and continue to spread that 'Fridays Feeling' further across the UK, and particularly in Scotland.”
