Junk Group secures UK debut site for cookie concept Puffy: Junk Group, the French-based business that operates four concepts across France, has secured a UK debut site for its cookie concept Puffy, in Central London, Propel has learned. Junk Group is to open a site on the premises occupied by Orée Boulangerie in Old Compton Street, in London’s Soho, next to its debut Junk Burger site. The company, which told Propel last year that it could bring more of its formats here, was founded by Wissem Ben Ammar and Majed Mansour in 2013. Last September, it brought its smash burger concept Junk Burger to the UK, having launched it in 2022 and grown it to seven sites in France. Propel understands that Junk Group has also lined up a site in Marylebone, in St Christopher Place – believed to be the ex-Marugame Udon site – for its second UK site for the smash burger concept. Mansour told Propel last month: “Our ambition for Junk remains the same: around ten locations by mid-2026. As for Puffy, we’ll wait for the opening to see how things go. If it performs as well as it has in Paris, we’ll look to develop it in the same way.” Marc Rogers, of MKR Property acted on the Old Compton Street deal.
