Jamie's Italian Canberra has closed
Jamie's Italian Canberra has closed suddenly, with the Canberra Centre restaurant not opening on Monday after a busy weekend of trade. In a statement, the Jamie Oliver Restaurant Group confirmed the closure, "with immediate effect". They also announced that Brisbane-based Hallmark Group would take over operating the Australian franchises of the chain, with Jamie's Italian restaurants in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Parramatta and Adelaide to remain open. The Canberra restaurant is the only one in Australia to shut, with no reason given for its closure. Instead, Jamie Oliver Restaurant Group Australia COO Ben Shaughnessy said Australia was, "one of our best performing international markets" for the restaurant. https://www.canberratimes.com.au/national/act/jamie-s-italian-canberra-has-closed-20180416-p4z9xt.html
