Strange but successful combination
Article Abstract:
Gowrings is involved in automobile dealerships and restaurants, and both activities are growing. The company owns 31 Burger King retaurants and plans a drive-through in Hove, England, by year-end 1999, with four more planned by Jun 2000. New car sales have been affected by changes in number plate dates, but this activity has still seen a rise in profit. The company could achieve a profit of 1.94 million pounds sterling in 1999, according to Peel Hunt.
