Ma Larkins, the cafe near Chipping Norton, has closed

It’s up for sale - someone buy it please, so MacDonalds dont:w00t:

Yep been closed since end of November, found a few new nice tea & cake stops in the area. :slight_smile:

Go on then! Share 'em!:smiley:

We should all buy it, club together :smiley:

Yeah, it was obviously turning a massive profit - hence it closing down!

P.S: Wanna buy some magic beans too?

How much for the beans!?

And how much for the Cafe!

+1

oooh I love magic beans, although the last lot i bought never grew :hehe:

It closed down due to family problems not lack of trade (it was always busy) I will miss the little Waitress. :smiley:

In that case, I’m in for a tenner! I expect at least 12 quid by this time next year!

What!!! Only a tenner for a pretty little waitress - you’re a bit mean:w00t:

Perv:D

It was on Ebay for £85k. Surprised there were no bidders.

£85K might be a bargain (if you want a decent cafe) so I wonder what the hidden cost is. You can bet your butt that’s not the freehold puchase price.

According to the description on Ebay it is for a 16 year lease with £25k pa ground rent. If turnover is indeed £250k with gross profit of over £100k then I am very surprised no one took it up, especially with an already very established loyal client base.

NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I loved that place…God, I’d love to buy it. I love that area, used to live not far away and the roads are awesome!!! Where am I gonne find the cash???

Bank?
