City centre favourite Cafe Metro has closed down, it has announced. Owner George Stavrinou, who ran the cafe on High Street opposite the Arndale with his son Michael, shut the doors for the last time on Christmas Eve, it has emerged.
In a post to Facebook, they said: “It is with regret and great sadness that we announce the closure of Cafe Metro. We have come to the end of our lease and the landlords plans to redevelop means that we can’t stay.
“Although we have looked to relocate we have not been able to find premises that come close to enabling us to offer our customers the same service and pricing. With Christmas Eve being our last day, George, Michael and the family would like to thank all our customers for their valued custom and support over the last 25 years, we’ve enjoyed serving you and will miss our chats about life in general, families, cars, F1, football, you name it we’ve probably talked about it.
