Emma Horan, who runs The Village Pantry on Leeds Road in Hipperholme, posted on Facebook that is had not been an easy decision: “After much consideration, we have decide to sell The Village Pantry.

"We have great trade lease hold shop with both local and passing trade. Would make a great business for someone.”

The shop will stay open until it is sold.
