Khan joined the business in early 2024 following the acquisition of the group by Tokyo-listed Toridoll the previous year, to oversee the next chapter of the Franco Manca and The Real Greek casual dining brands.
Earlier this month Franco Manca confirmed plans to close 16 restaurants as part of its company voluntary arrangement (CVA), with the proposal receiving support from more than 90% of its creditors, leaving it with an estate of around 54 sites.
In a separate deal, The Real Greek was bought by Côte Brasserie owner Karali Group in a pre-pack administration process for 19 of its 28 restaurants.
“It has been a privilege to lead Fulham Shore through such an important period for the business. I’m hugely proud of the teams across Franco Manca, The Real Greek and the wider group for the resilience, energy and commitment they’ve shown throughout a demanding period,” says Khan.
“When I joined, the business faced significant structural challenges. Together, we brought back focus, rebuilt momentum and helped put the business on a stronger footing for the future.
“I genuinely believe the business now has real momentum and significant wind in its sails for the years ahead.”
Khan’s previous roles include chief executive at Thunderbird Fried Chicken, director of operations and brand development director at Five Guys and regional MD at Nando’s.
Since March 2020, he has additionally served as an operating partner at Capdesia, the investment firm exclusively focused on European-branded restaurant chains.
It is understood that Fulham Shore’s CFO Colin Berry will lead the business on an interim basis.
