The Closed Shop: Call for ‘one last party’ as Sheffield pub announces closure citing ‘financial pressures’
A pub in Sheffield has announced that it is set to close down due to what it described as “ongoing financial pressures”.
Located in the Crookes area of Sheffield, The Close Shop announced across social media that it will shut down at the end of the weekend, with a call for customers to come in for “one last party” at the venue.
The pub was re-opened in 2023 by its former manager, Sophie Bailey, following a brief three-month closure. Ms Bailey had previously run the pub for nearly three years between 2019 and 2022.
In a statement on Facebook, the pub said: “We regret to inform you that we will be closing our doors for the final time this Sunday at 6pm.
“We’ve had a wonderful time over these last few years but due to ongoing financial pressures we have made the decision to cease operations.
“We’d love to see you guys one last time so please drop in over this weekend because we’re going out with a bang. Pop in so we can say goodbye and have one last party.”
“Offers running all weekend and remember cash is king.”
