A DERBY restaurant which opened less than three years ago has shut.
Jimmy's World Grill and Bar, at the city's Riverlights development, has closed down.
The company, which has restaurants across the UK, confirmed the closure to the Derby Telegraph via social media site Twitter.
The 400-seater eaterie had only been open since February, 2012.
The business had spent around £1.5 million fitting out two ground-floor units at Riverlights to create the restaurant, which offered an all you can eat, multi-cuisine concept, selling a range of international dishes, including Italian, Thai, Chinese, Mexican, Japanese and Indian food.
It served more than 100 dishes including pizza, pasta, stir fry sushi and grilled chicken – with customers given the option of choosing dishes on display or having ingredients cooked fresh by its team of 15 chefs in front of them at "live stations".
At the time, the business said that the outlet had created 70 jobs.
Jimmy's has not revealed why the outlet has shut but it said it "apologised for any inconvenience caused".
The firm has now removed the details of the Derby restaurant from its website. At the same time, it has announced that it is opening a new outlet in Brighton.
