Philpotts, a popular food chain, has closed its Glasgow City Centre location along with its store in Edinburgh. The closure was sudden, with a notice on the door thanking customers for their patronage over the years. The company’s website also confirmed the permanent closure of both Scottish venues.
The Glasgow and Edinburgh locations were the only ones in Scotland, with the chain now focusing on its eight remaining spots in cities across England such as Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, and Birmingham. Known for its fresh sandwiches, breakfast items, and snacks, the reason behind the abrupt closure remains unknown.
This news comes shortly after another fast-food outlet, Tim Hortons, closed its store in East Kilbride Shopping Centre. The exact date of the closure was not provided, leaving customers wondering about the reasons behind the decision. The shopping centre expressed disappointment over the closure but announced that Muffin Break would be taking over the unit in the coming weeks.
As the centre prepares to welcome new retailers, the sudden closures of these food spots serve as a reminder of the challenging nature of the food industry. Customers will have to look elsewhere for their favorite sandwiches and coffee as these beloved spots disappear from the local landscape.
