Coughlan also expressed gratitude toward co-owner Romesh Ranganathan, who joined the third-generation family enterprise as a partner in 2024.
“Thank you... you've been incredible, kind, compassionate and we've had so much fun together.
Fingers crossed we can do something in the future as our partnership is very special and you will be my family forever,” Coughlan stated.
He urged the public to continue supporting independent high street merchants during the economic downturn. “Please please please remember to shop local,” Coughlan wrote.
“Our high streets need your love.”
Ranganathan responded to the closure on social media, expressing his sadness. “Gutted isn't the word,” he said.
