Patisserie Valerie: Nottingham café ‘to let’ after handwritten note confirmed sudden closure

A popular Nottingham city centre café remains vacant more than two months after its closure. 

The former Patisserie Valerie café in Exchange Arcade closed in April, but the unit is still empty, with no indication of potential suitors. 

Signs have recently appeared in the shop’s window advertising its availability for rental opportunities. 

In April the cafe’s sudden closure was confirmed by a handwritten note on the door, which said: “This store is now permanently closed.”

A Patisserie Valerie spokesperson subsequently told Nottingham World that the business had failed to agree renewal terms with its landlord. 

The café opened in 2012 and was a popular spot for city centre visitors for nearly 12 years.
