Manchester's vibrant Northern Quarter has been rocked after a third trader announced it is leaving the city centre hotspot in the same day. Atkinsons Coffee has announced it is closing its café at Mackie Mayor.
The Lancaster-based trader has been part of Mackie Mayor since its reopening as a food hall in 2017. The specialist coffee firm will continue trading in its home city.
In a post on Instagram confirming the news today (January 13), a spokesperson for Atkinsons Coffee said: "Today we bring you the sad news that we have made the tough decision to close our Manchester café at the Mackie Mayor. We would like to thank all our customers who have supported us over the years and amazing baristas who have all done us proud in what has been Atkinsons first venture outside of Lancaster in 180 years.
