Coughlans Bakery has shut all 32 shops in South London. The family-run chain folded on Tuesday due to liquidation. Rising bills and debts made trading unsustainable for this 90-year-old business. Romesh Ranganathan, the comedian who part-owns it, called the news devastating. Workers now face redundancy as the bakeries close immediately. The British Baker said the collapse reflects the original empire’s size. A decades-long local name has disappeared from the high street. No revival talks are happening at present.
