Gordon Ramsay isn’t just a chef. In 2025, he’s proving himself to be one of the most powerful business minds in the culinary world. In a massive move that’s sending shockwaves through the restaurant industry, Ramsay has officially merged his UK and US restaurant groups into a single, global super-brand—co-owned with Lion Capital.
This isn’t a small merger. The new company controls more than 90 restaurants worldwide and generates over half a billion dollars in annual revenue. It includes his flagship locations in London, his Hell’s Kitchen series in the U.S., and high-end venues across Asia and the Middle East. Ramsay and Lion Capital now share 50/50 ownership, and the headquarters sits firmly in London.
The idea is to consolidate control and create a unified global standard. “I want consistency whether you’re eating in Vegas, Dubai, or Manchester,” Ramsay said. And this is just the beginning. He’s already planning more openings—including the showpiece of 2025: a four-story restaurant complex in 22 Bishopsgate, London.
This new venue isn’t just a place to eat. It includes a Lucky Cat Asian restaurant, a Bread Street Kitchen, a rooftop sushi terrace, and even a cooking academy with panoramic city views. It’s designed to be both a dining destination and a training ground for the next generation of chefs.
Some see the merger as a cold business play. Others see it as a victory lap for a man who built his career on fire, fury, and relentless ambition. Ramsay doesn’t shy away from the power moves. “I’m not just cooking anymore,” he said. “I’m building something that will outlast me.”
This is more than branding. It’s the next phase of a culinary empire—with Gordon Ramsay at the helm, steering the ship through uncharted waters and refusing to slow down.
