The family behind a unique and well-loved small business in Bristol, which was launched by three sisters, has announced that it will cease trading in March. According to one of the co-founders, At the Well, a laundrette, cafe and printing shop, has faced a challenging few years and "with more uncertainty ahead" they said they have taken the "painful" decision to close.
At the Well first opened on Cheltenham Road in 2012 following a nine-month renovation of the premises, which had previously stood derelict for over a decade. Offering a range of services, including washing and drying, printing and pancakes, it became a popular weekend brunch spot, also playing host to live music and events.
The closure of the business coincides with the sale of the cafe premises at 145 Cheltenham Road, meaning that the space, laundry equipment and cafe set-up are all available. Listed with Maggs and Allen, the freehold with vacant possession for the 840 sq. ft property is £150,000.
