Loungers is a substantial and growing operator in the UK hospitality sector. As at April 2019, Loungers operates 146 sites in England and Wales across two distinct but complementary brands, Lounge and Cosy Club. Founded in 2002 by three friends who wanted to create a neighbourhood café-bar that they would want to go to, the Group is now the only growing all-day operator of scale in the UK and has consistently outperformed the wider UK hospitality sector over the past three years.
