The Jamie Oliver Restaurant Group plans to open a 10 further restaurants internationally.

The Jamie Oliver Restaurant Group plans to open a 10 further restaurants internationally in the next four years. The Keystone Group, which runs six restaurants under Jamie Oliver’s brand as well as a number of bars and diners across New South Wales, will continue to trade pending a sale of the restaurants in Australia and New Zealand. The company took over the Jamie’s Italian franchise as part of its acquisition with the Pacific Restaurant Group two years ago. Chief executive of the Jamie Oliver Restaurant Group Simon Blagden said: “International growth is the key focus for the group over the next few years. We have a number of new sites in the pipeline for this year, including launching in South Africa and opening further sites in the Far East. For Jamie’s Italian we will be looking at 12-14 openings over the next 12 months or so”.
