Nando's confirm location of first Ayrshire restaurant
Nando's have confirmed they will be taking over the former Tony Macaroni restaurant next to the Odeon cinema in Kilmarnock. Nando's have confirmed the location of their first Ayrshire outlet and a vacant restaurant could be set for a brighter future as a result. Currently abandoned, the former Tony Macaroni restaurant in Kilmarnock is set to become home to Ayrshire's first Nando's. Ayrshire's foodies and fans of the South African chain will no longer have to travel to Glasgow to for their peri-peri fix. The popular chicken restaurant chain have now confirmed that they will be opening in the empty unit. Located next to the town's Odeon cinema, the building has previously been home to both a Tony Macaroni and a Frankie and Benny's. The building has lain empty since July 2024 when Tony Macaroni unexpectedly closed the restaurant. Frankie and Benny's had pulled out of the venue in 2020 as a result of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the hospitality industry. In response to an enquiry from Ayrshire Live, Nando's said they were "excited" to be opening in Kilmarnock and that they would "share more details soon". Founded by Fernando Duarte and Robert Brozin in Rosettenville, South Africa, Nando's is a Portuguese and Mozambican inspired restaurant chain which primarily serves peri-peri chicken. Named after Fernando's son Nando, the restaurant chain currently operates more then 1,000 restaurants in 30 countries worldwide.

Future of Aberdeen Mozza plunged into doubt as Union Square location remains closed for a month
Mozza's future has been thrown into doubt. Image: DC Thomson The future of a pizza restaurant in Aberdeen has been thrown into doubt as it has not opened to customers for more than a month. Fans of Mozza have been left unable to book tables or order takeaway since it suddenly closed its doors at the beginning of April. Ever since, a bench has been placed in the entranceway of the Union Square unit to prevent anyone entering, and construction equipment can be seen scattered inside. The option to book a table for the Aberdeen location has also been completely removed from the company's website. The entranceway to the restaurant has been blocked. Image: DC Thomson. However, social media pages for Mozza Aberdeen remain active, posting pictures and advertising their loyalty programme. The opening hours section for the restaurant on Union Square's website displays the word 'closed' on each of the seven days of the week. Its Glasgow location also closed suddenly in June 2023. The Press and Journal has made several attempts to contact the business but the brand refused to confirm the unit's closure. Various equipment can be seen inside. Image: DC Thomson. Mozza Aberdeen doubts surface after Tony Macaroni ousting The closure of the Italian-inspired eatery, follows the recent end of Aberdeen's Tony Macaroni location. Both Mozza and Toni Macaroni were founded by Lanarkshire-based entrepreneur Giuseppe Marini. Tony Macaroni was forced out of its Marischal Square premises last December following a series of missed rent payments to Aberdeen City Council. Tony Macaroni closed in January.
