A doughnut shop in Nantwich is closing, less than two years after it opened.
Planet Doughnut opened on Pillory Street in October 2021, but will shuts its doors for the last time at the end of this week due to the pressure of rising bills.
Boss Duncan McGregor posted online to break the news to locals.
He said: “I was hoping we wouldn’t have to post this but we’ve been unable to make our Nantwich shop work out and sadly will be closing the doors on Sunday night (28th May) for the last time.”
He added: “We gave it our best shot but the crippling cost of electricity prices, the cost of living crisis, reduced high street footfall, coupled by the fact in essence our ‘bread and butter’ is a handmade artisan doughnut we just couldn’t keep absorbing the losses here.”
Mr McGregor urged people to make the most of the final few days, where dessert fans will be able to grab a bargain as the company aims to clear its stock.
He said: “Please, please come in and see us in our last week if you can.
“We will be doing some deals to get rid of excess dessert stock and use up the coffee and hot chocolate.”
He also thanked people for supporting their business, and said anyone looking for catering fridges, freezers and other cafe items could contact him as he will be selling these.
It’s understood the other Planet Doughnut stores – in Chester and Warrington as well as across Staffordshire and Shropshire – are unaffected.
