LONDON (ShareCast) - (Sharecast News) - Restaurant operator Comptoir Group confirmed plans to start reopening some of its sites from 4 July on Tuesday.
The AIM-traded firm, which focuses on Lebanese and Meditteranean cuisine, said that following the government announcement on 23 June, it would reopen venues in phases and in line with recommended safety guidelines.
