The Hummingbird Bakery closes its store in Guildford
The store was the first one they opened outside of London.
The Hummingbird Bakery has announced the closure of its outlet located in Guildford, saying that they have failed to reach the level of revenue needed for the site.
“The Guildford bakery was our first branch to open outside of London and it is with sadness that we have taken the decision to close it,” its founder and managing director Tarek Malouf said. “I’m proud of all the wonderful work our bakers have delivered during their time baking for this welcoming community and I offer my sincerest thanks to all of our Guildford customers for joining us on our American baking journey.”
The said outlet opened last September 2017, but the American bakery chain assures that it will continue to be committed to the rest of its six stores across UK and three more in Dubai.
Job positions from their other outlets have been offered to the employees affected by the closure.
“It is our hope that Guildford customers will still be able to enjoy fresh American baking at our Richmond bakery located on The Quadrant in Surrey,” Malouf added.
