Closure of Second NI Restaurant in Less Than 2 Years

A second restaurant in Derry city center has announced it is closing down after just over a year since another vacated the same premises. Social Studio Closure: The Social Studio restaurant on Bishop Street cited the rising costs of goods, electricity, and wages as reasons for its closure. The closure comes 15 months after the previous occupant, BRØN, shut down for the same reasons. BRØN's Closure: BRØN closed its Bishop Street restaurant in January last year, stating it struggled to survive the increasing costs faced by small businesses. Social Studio's Message: Social Studio expressed gratitude to patrons and staff but highlighted the tough nature of the hospitality industry. The Current Situation: Rising costs have forced the current occupiers of Bishop Street premises to cease operations. Support Local Businesses: Social Studio urged support for local and small businesses in the face of economic challenges. For voucher holders, instructions are available on the Social Studio website.
