Bolton restaurant to be closed for the day - as 9,000 staff prepare to party
A Bolton restaurant is closing its doors for a day to host an annual staff party.
Blanco Lounge will be shut on Monday, June 9, as part of a nationwide closure of all Lounges across the UK for LoungeFest, the Loungers' annual staff party.
The event is being held to thank the more than 9,000 staff members that work for the company throughout the year.
Guy Youll, chief people officer at Loungers, said: "Back in 2013, Loungers was one of the first in the hospitality industry to host a party like this and I'm delighted we've kept close to our roots by continuing every year, getting bigger and better.
"Our teams work incredibly hard all year round so LoungeFest is our way of celebrating them and showing how much we appreciate the dedication and care they put in every day at all our sites to deliver great hospitality.
"It's going to be quite a party."
