A popular Armley sandwich shop is sadly closing its doors after two years in business.
For sale signs are up outside Morning Star Sandwich Bar in Armley Ridge Road. It has been reported that the shop's owner George Mitchell has put the business up for sale on 'health grounds'.
The news will come as a shock to many customers who used the eatery on a daily basis. It raked in four and five star reviews and became renowned for its "great service", "friendly staff", and "lovely sandwiches". It sells a variety of hot and cold sandwiches, paninis, jacket potatoes, and breakfasts.

The sandwich shop will remain open over Easter weekend, and a final day of service is yet to be confirmed. The premises are being sold for an asking price of £29.,950. The business makes an annual turnover of £119,600, according to the sale page.
The for sale advert reads: "Sandwich bar in Leeds for Sale. Busy location with lots of passing traffic and surrounded by a densely populated community.
