Giraffe is a restaurant and cafe chain based in Birmingham, England which was founded in Hampstead as Giraffe Restaurants in 1998 by Juliette Joffe, Russel Joffe and Andrew Jacobs.[2] Giraffe was owned by its founders, with additional financial backing from private shareholders, 3i investment group and chairman Luke Johnson.
3i invested £10 million in the company in October 2006, in a deal that valued the chain at £24 million.[3] It was announced that the chain was to be acquired by Tesco on 13 March 2013 for £48.6m.[4] As part of the acquisition, 3i and Risk Capital Partners sold their shares in the company.[5] Tesco reached an agreement to sell the company to Boparan Holdings in June 2016.[6]
