Prezzo is to permanently close in Marlborough.
The High Street pizza restaurant is one of 22 closing nationally, and includes another in Swindon.
Private equity company Cain International is now closing a number of eateries after it bought the firm back from administrators, in a pre-pack deal to secure its future last week.
The firm said it took the action to protect the majority of Prezzo’s 2,900 employees, though it resulted in 216 redundancies.
The deal came after Prezzo collapsed into administration after failing to reach agreement with landlords on rent payments, less than two months after Cain International had bought the business.
Prezzo will continue to be led by its existing management team.
As of February 10 2021, Prezzo’s restaurants had been able to operate for just 25 weeks out of the previous 52 weeks – but fixed costs and rent have been accumulating in that period, the chain has said.
