New Zizzi and ASK owner, Bridgepoint will be happy to see that the brands sales soar by 10% over the last six months.
Bridgepoint, which owns Pret A Manger, acquired the casual-dining restaurant chains in January from rival private equity firm Cinven for £250m.
In the half-year to 11 January, Zizzi and Ask reported £119m in sales, a like-for-like rise of 9.6 % in the previous year.
