'Great sadness' as Ilkeston fish and chip shop to close after 36 years

The owners of a fish and chip shop have confirmed they will serve their last orders as the shop is due to close after 36 years of trading.

A statement posted by the business online recently confirmed the closure, saying "After much through and with great sadness, we would like to inform our lovely, loyal customers that within the next few weeks Johnny's Fish Bar will be closing our doors for good until a new buyer is secured. This is to allow John and Flora to enjoy their retirement."

Johnny’s Fish Bar, in Nottingham Road, Ilkeston, will serve its final customers this weekend, Derbyshire Live reports. Owners John and Flora Christofi are both in their 70s and believe the time is right to retire after more than three-and-a-half decades. Their daughter Christina says her mum and dad have been serving the local community long enough to see some customers grow from children to become parents and even grandparents.
