A Glasgow business has launched crowdfunding to avoid closure.

Tempo Tea Bar, based in Queen Street in the city centre, announced they have to shut down after their landlord decide to end their lease early.

To avoid closure, the owners are hoping to relocate the shop and have asked customers to donate towards the costs if they can.

In their plea, they said: "It's a real shame that we have built an amazing community and a safe space for our customers, it can disappear with just one letter from our landlord."

They went on to explain how the rising costs of running a business have affected them.

The post continued: "With all of these challenges, we faced them and dealt with them, never did we think we'd ever close our Glasgow store.

"However, you can't always prepare or control external factors such as your landlord deciding to end your lease early.

"This was not something we even imagined or thought would happen and we had to decide if moving the unit would be the right business decision as moving is expensive!

"After we announced to our community that we were closing our store due to this external factor, we were overwhelmed with the support.

"Fuelled by the kind words of support and many of you mentioning that we should set up a crowdfunder to allow us to still have a physical store, we decided that you're right, we must find another home and safe space for our customers, and here we are, doing just that!"
