12 June 2007 - To further concentrate on its beer production, France's leading brewery Kronenbourg, part of Scottish & Newcastle, has sold its restaurant chain 'Maître Kanter' to the Flo Group.
Flo Group already owns famous French restaurant chains such as Hippopotamus, Bistro Romain and Tablapizza.
The Group intends to continue opening new ‘taverns’ in France, it said in a statement. The Group adds that Kronenbourg will continue to supply the restaurants with its beer.
Meanwhile, FLEXNEWS reported that activities in Scottish & Newcastle's Kronenbourg brewery in Obernai, eastern France, were resumed on Friday after workers ended a 4-day strike over compulsory overtime hours.
