The Kiwi franchiser of vegan fast food restaurant Lord of the Fries has gone into liquidation.
Outlets had previously closed at Snickel Lane and Karangahape Rd in Central Auckland, Cuba St in Wellington, and in Hamilton East and Queenstown.
Lord Of The Fries stores at Auckland's Botany Town Centre and in Central Christchurch are under separate owners and will remain open.
Chip Lord NZ limited, trading as Lord of the Fries, was launched by Bruce and Bahsko Craig in 2016 and was placed into liquidation on June 12.
The founders are heading to Australia for "grandparent duties".
At its height the brand had seven stores across New Zealand.
Five other companies associated with the brand were also placed into liquidation on June 12: Chip Lord 1 Queen Street Limited, Chip Lord Collective Kitchen Limited, Chip Lord K Road Limited, Chip Lord Queenstown Limited and Chip Lord Wellington Limited.
Chartered accountant Victoria Toon has been appointed liquidator and creditors have until July 12 to prove debts or claims.
