A city centre food market has closed its doors for good just over three years after it opened. The Metquarter confirmed in a statement to the ECHO this afternoon that the GPO Food Market and Bar has closed inside the shopping centre. A spokesperson for the Metquarter said despite its efforts the 'business has not performed to the level expected' and it has now closed.
In a statement sent to the ECHO , the shopping centre said: “Despite our best efforts to support GPO, the business has not performed to the level expected. There are a combination of reasons for this. We still see Metquarter as a significant leisure and food destination within the city centre. Combined with other available units within the building we can create an even larger offer going forward.
