Shoppers voiced their surprise after a 'popular' cafe was put up for sale. The cafe in Long Eaton's High Street, Peter W Thein, also known as Pete’s Upper Crust Cafe, has been put on the market for £229,950.
The manager of the cafe, Aiden Goodman, said the venue was put up for sale due to the owner's retirement and due to the current state of the high street. Mr Goodman, who has worked at the cafe for 12 years and been manager for five, added: "The main reason is because the owner wants to retire, and also that Long Eaton is very quiet these days, there are empty shops and not many are open."
Shoppers in the town spoke about the cafe and highlighted a ‘good all day breakfast’ as well as good service from the staff and always being full of customers. Donna Langton, who moved to Long Eaton five years ago, said it was a shame the cafe has been put up for sale. The 52-year-old said: “It is quite popular, I see people inside and outside.
