Brett Graham's Notting Hill restaurant came back in February 2022 after a closure long enough to cost it its Michelin stars - not by losing them on the plate, but because a shut restaurant cannot be assessed, and the trading restrictions of the pandemic made reopening impractical for its kind of room. It had held two stars from 2010 until 2021, and it regained them after the return.

Wonder Lays Off 533 as It Closes Two New Jersey Kitchens

Wonder is cutting 533 jobs between 16 September 2026 and 8 January 2027 as it closes its Cranford and Fairfield, New Jersey production facilities and consolidates into a new plant in Swedesboro.

New Jersey's WARN archive lists Wonder Group, Inc. (Parsippany), notified in September, with 533 affected employees and effective dates of 9/16/26 to 1/8/27^[3].
The food hall company is closing its Cranford and Fairfield production and distribution facilities and moving into a higher-capacity facility in Swedesboro, expected to open in November^[1][2].
Wonder said: "Because this is a site consolidation, it unfortunately requires winding down operations and the roles tied to those locations. We recognize this is a significant disruption for these employees"^[1][4].
Eligible employees get severance, outplacement services and the chance to apply for open roles, including at Swedesboro; the Parsippany corporate office stays open^[2][4].
It is Wonder's second cut in weeks, after a 7% reduction of about 110 corporate staff, as the Marc Lore-founded company prepares to go public^[2].
The notice came a day after Wonder agreed to sell Grubhub's campus dining business to DoorDash for $300 million, with DoorDash also investing $125 million^[1][4].
