“Keeping it going has become impossible”: Popular Nottingham city centre barber shop confirms closure
The shop opened in 2019
A popular Nottingham city centre barber shop is to close later this month after six years.
Exchange Barbers, in the Exchange Arcade, will close at the end of August.
The shop, which opened in 2019, has established a strong customer base over the past six years, having overcome restrictions on person-to-person contact due to the pandemic.
In a Facebook post, Exchange Barbers said: “After a lot of reflection, and incredibly heavy hearts, we’ve made the decision to close Exchange Barbers.
“Since opening our doors in 2019, we've been through so much, building from scratch, navigating a global pandemic, and holding strong since the constant rise in living and business costs.
“We’ve poured our hearts into this place, but the reality is keeping it going has become impossible, not without placing more pressure on the very people who’ve supported us all these years. And we won’t do that to our clients or our team.”
The post went on to say that the shop’s barbers will be moving on to work independently following its closure.
Bookings up until August 30 will be honoured, the post added.
