A social enterprise running multiple Glasgow venues has announced the closure of its city centre spot.
Quoting the cost of living crisis, Locavore shared the shocking news on Facebook that its Garnethill shop will stop trading on Satruday this week.
The post read: "We’re really sad to let you know that we’ve taken the difficult decision to close Locavore Garnethill.
"We’ve been impacted by the cost of living crisis with our costs going up while customs in some areas has dropped. At the same time, our overheads have increased massively following the very busy last 18 months which saw us open Garnethill, Kirkintilloch and Edinburgh shops as well as take on new land and set up our central hub in Oatlands. It’s a lot of new rent.
"Unfortunately, our new shops, including Garnethill, haven't been as busy as we had hoped and although we are seeing more and more customers each month we are forced to take drastic changes now to secure the future of Locavore."
