Fast-food chain Leon is shifting its focus to London, train stations, and airports after experiencing £10 million in annual losses. The company is restructuring its 71 restaurants and closing 20 High Street locations due to rising business rates and overall cost increases. John Vincent, Leon's co-founder, repurchased the company from Asda last year. The restructuring involves closures outside of London, with the company focusing on locations with higher foot traffic.
