Hundreds of people and other local businesses have since sent messages of support to bosses and staff at the popular cafe.YWAM Paisley wrote:"Blend has had such a positive impact on this community in so many ways, and will be sorely missed. Blessings on each of the staff as they move to other things."
Skirlies Cafe Paisley said:"Sorry to hear this, things are really tough right now, uncertain times ahead."One person said:"Is there any way at all this can be turned around? I rarely go out but I know if I do, it's Blend I choose for your comforting, warm non-judgemental embrace.
Another added:"I'm so heartbroken. Is there nothing that we as your customers can do to help? Paisley won't be the same without you guys. We as a community should be able to come together to support you. Nicest coffee shop I've ever been to and it's such a recent discovery. Even my little dog loves to visit because she likes the cheese on the"Cheesy one". Sending you guys big love."One person said:"This is so sad.
Another added:"So sad to hear this news, you will all be sorely missed. You have been my refuge every Saturday after work, and my Wednesday day off. I have many happy memories of the refuge you have provided the people of Paisley."
