Kitchens Cookshop in High Street is closing.
The staff I spoke to said it was because of a dispute with the landlord who has different plans to develop the building. I don't know how true this is, since quite often "lease expiration" is used by businesses that just don't want to extend to another term.
I noticed in a recent visit that the first floor was closed and roped off, so thought this wasn't a good sign. The staff I spoke to today claimed that it was nothing to do with a failing business, and that it was because the first floor is technically part of Church Street not High Street, and that they had to vacate because the former street was being developed. Not sure I understand this.
It's a shame anyway. I really love that shop. Surely there are other locations they could move to if it was effectively an eviction.
