Following the sudden closure of the Bakers Vaults, located at the heart of Stockport, at Christmas, pub owners Robinsons Brewery have confirmed that the Bakers Vaults WILL re-open in 2014.
Former pub licensees Yvonne and Tony Martin decided to close their doors over the Christmas period and announced on Facebook that they would not be re-opening – much to the disappointed of their locals.
Commenting on the recent closure, William Robinson, Robinsons’ joint Managing Director (pubs division), said:
“We were very sorry to find out via Facebook that our licensees had decided to close the Bakers Vaults. We have been working hard to support them with their business and having completed the refurbishment of the toilets just last month, were looking forwards to commencing the refurbishment of the bar area in 2014.
“Clearly the difficulties they have encountered with the lack of customers particularly in the evenings in Stockport town centre have been a major factor in their decision to close.
“At Robinsons we work to support our community and traditional pubs. When the former licensee decided to leave the Bakers Vaults at Christmas it was a big disappointment for everyone. Yet from this disappointment it has been great to see the community come together in support of their local. Those customers can rest assured that we are committed to the Bakers Vaults and to the town of Stockport. So, watch this space…!”*
