Wolseley Restaurant Plans Offshoots Across UK and Asia
- Owner Minor International plans expansion of celebrity haunt
- New City restaurant will open in London’s King William Street
The owner of London’s Wolseley restaurant, a favorite haunt of celebrities, CEOs and dealmakers, plans to open offshoots across the UK, Asia and the Middle East as the dining group seeks to move on from a bruising clash with its founder.
Dillip Rajakarier, chief executive officer of Thai hotel company Minor International PCL, said he envisaged Wolseley restaurants in Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai, as well as London’s financial district. He also plans Cafe Wolseley sites — more relaxed versions of the original in London’s Piccadilly — across other parts of China and the Middle East, as well as Manchester, Birmingham and Oxford in the UK.
