Failed expansion dreams compounded by the coronavirus lockdown have left the famous Hopetoun Tea Rooms drowning in debt.

Melbourne institution the Hopetoun Tea Rooms is for sale in a last ditch bid to save the famous cake store after it collapsed into administration earlier this month.

Administrators Peter Gountzos and Michael Carrafa, of SV Partners, were appointed on May 8 to Finetea Pty Ltd, which trades as Hopetoun Tea Rooms, and the business was put on the market last week. Creditors are owed just over $3 million, with major creditors including the Block Arcade, law firm Tisher Liner, the Australian Tax Office and the Commonwealth Bank.
