Horsefair in Boroughbridge.

A Boroughbridge butchers has announced it will close due to the cost of running the firm.

Fryer’s Butchers, which is based on Horsefair in the town, opened last year.

However, in a statement posted on social media, the business said it will close this Saturday because the costs of running the business have become unsustainable.

It said:

“It's not been a decision we've taken lightly. 
“We always knew it was going to be a challenge when opening, due to the situation globally and nationally and unfortunately the cost of running the business has gotten the best of us this time and it's not sustainable.”


The business added:

“Thank you to all of our wonderful customers for your support and we're sorry we couldn't continue to serve the wonderful community that is Boroughbridge any longer."
