The Fusco family has extended its reach beyond Whitby having acquired Winking Willy’s on Scarborough’s South Bay from the MacGregor family.
The Fusco’s, who have been operating fish and chip shops in and around Whitby for 56 years, have taken on the existing workforce at the Scarborough restaurant and takeaway.
Commenting on the acquisition, Adrian Fusco, comments: “We have always had a great fondness for Scarborough and Winking Willy’s is a long established and successful part of the South Bay, making the move a very exciting and natural step for our business. We are really looking forward to working with the team and progressing the business together.”
The Fusco family currently run four fish and chip shops in Whitby – Royal Fisheries, Quayside and two under the Fish Box brand – as well as a mobile fish and chip trailer.
