Just saw this article over on reddit, it has a full list of the stores expected to close.
May be a useful update to something like the Ghost page when it actually happens.
I’d imagine @TheUKHighStreet will be on it too 
Ha! I was at least waiting until the end of the month in case some of them are sold and stay open.

I was mostly posting this as a place to add a bookmark for when something actually happened.

It looks like there has been a last-minute rescue for at least some of the stores.

If someone could create a spider for the UK branches of TGI Fridays on https://www.alltheplaces.xyz/ then I can add to my Chain Reaction tool.
(The 51 store pages are conveniently linked from https://www.tgifridays.co.uk/sitemap.xml , but I’m not sure how easy it would be to extract the locations and address data from those pages.)
I had a quick look this morning - I think the spider wouldn’t have coordinates as it looks like the maps are created from the addresses rather than coordinates.
If you can get postcodes into ATP, that would probably work ok for my tool. (It automatically fills in any missing coordinates from the postcode centroids, and will match on postcodes too.)
Done, I think. It was a bit more complicated than it looked - but the coordinates are there.
Excellent, thanks. Using the scraperbot data, I’ve added this to Chain Reaction at https://osm.mathmos.net/chains/Q1524184/ .
I see that the website URLs aren’t included in the ATP output. I don’t suppose there’s any way to collect those too?
