Morecambe cafe shuts down just six months after opening
A bistro and tearoom which opened in the former post office in Morecambe’s West End is closing down.
Olly’s Bistro 57 & Tearooms opened at 57, Marine Road West, Morecambe in February of this year but is ceasing trading in a matter of weeks.
A spokesman for the bistro said on their Facebook page: “After much careful consideration, we have made the incredibly difficult decision to permanently close Olly's Bistro, with our final day of trading being August 14.
“Due to the ongoing economic challenges and rising costs, continuing to operate the business is no longer sustainable. This has not been an easy decision, and it has been made with great sadness.
“We would like to express our sincere thanks to every customer who has visited us and supported Olly's Bistro.
"Your custom, encouragement and kindness have meant so much to us, and we are truly grateful for every person who chose to support our business and we thank you for being a part of out journey.”
