Nando's: 2014 openings review and 2015 preview

Back in March this year, we posted an article showing all openings that the team understood were happening during 2014 (the full article can be read here) - and so it's probably a good time to check out how these have done.

We thought there were 32 branches due to open this year, but with New Malden looking to be the last one to open this year (on 10th December), this will bring the grand total to 25 - which is certainly great news for peri fans! Those that have opened this year are:

January - Edinburgh - Omni Centre (26th January)
February - Gateshead - Trinity Square (5th February)
February - Taunton (5th Feb)
February - Glasgow - Sauchiehall Street (19th February)
February - Aylesbury (19th February)
February - Milton Keynes - Kingston Centre (26th February)
April - Redditch (3rd April)
April - Derry/Londonderry (10th April)
April - Salford (16th April)
April - Manchester - Piccadilly Gardens (23rd April)
May - Hereford (14th May)
June - Salisbury (4th June)
July - York - Vangarde Shopping Park (9th July)

September - Tamworth (3rd September)

October - Chesterfield (22nd October)
November - Walthamstow (20th November)
November - Milton Keynes - MK1 Leisure (26th November)
December - New Malden (to open 10th December)

This does mean there are many more to open in 2015 and so far we believe there may be as many as 33 branches in the pipeline for next year. They are all shown on our own Opening Soon & Restaurant Rumours page - but as a taster, here are the most up-to-date opening details that we have:
