When the Spud Bros are not busy helping feed the masses at their potato tram on Preston’s Flag Market, they are helping give back to those in need.

One half of the Spud Brothers - Jacob Nelson, 29, took to the duo’s Facebook page upon hearing the sad news that Almost Famous burger chain had closed its sites this week citing the cost of living and Covid as some of the reasons.

Jacob, who is recovering after surgery, said: “I have just seen the sad news that Almost Famous are completely shutting down.

“I had a really good experience when I went over to Manchester both from the quality side and the customer service side.

“I also saw that they were trying to get their staff jobs.”

“This is the first time that you are going to hear it but the Spud Bros are branching out.”
