Quote from Reuters:

Baked potato chain Spudulike collapsed on Monday after a prospective buyer pulled out of a deal, resulting in the closure of all 37 outlets and the loss of 298 jobs, administrator Leonard Curtis said here.

Spudulike’s collapse marks the latest blow to Britain’s high street and follows celebrity chef Jamie Oliver’s restaurant chain going into administration in May, which left 1,000 people without jobs.

“We are now focusing on seeking any interest in the group’s remaining assets whilst managing the impact of the closures on former employees, helping them prepare and submit claims for any arrears of wages, statutory notice entitlement and redundancy pay,” joint administrator Neil Bennett said in a statement.

Staff had virtually no warning. That's pretty tough.
