The burger chain has almost famous has said it has no choice but to close the store after the financial pressure was “stacked against us”.

The restaurant, which has shops in Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds, announced the “heartbreaking” sudden closure in a statement from co -founder Beau Myers.

Mr. Myers said they had “been as a family to us” and he was “deeply upset that we couldn’t weather the storm for you”.
