In this article (4)
TGI Friday’s Japan, the US franchise known for its kitschy decor and classic American fare, is opening its latest restaurant in Tokyo’s Gotanda area tomorrow – a Friday, of course.
TGI is hoping to capitalise on the atmosphere at its new outlet, near Gotanda Station, with a Hollywood theme the chain says is different from the established locations in Japan. It is sited in a former cinema, and will be replete with replica Hollywood movie memorabilia and posters.
It will feature the flair bartending shows that are a feature of the Japanese outlets.
TGI Friday’s has more than 900 outlets in 60 countries, with the first Japanese restaurant opening in Shibuya, Tokyo, in 1999. There are more than a dozen outlets now in Japan, including the Kanto and Kansai areas.
