CHELMUND'S Fish and Chips has thanked local people for their support after confirming that the outlet would be closed for the next few weeks.
The community-run chippy - which opened at Chelmund's Cross earlier this month - made the decision following the resignation of its manager/chief fryer a few days ago.
In a statement posted on the official Facebook page yesterday (Friday), the business said that it had started to train interim fryers but has decided they will not be ready for a few weeks.
The post continued: "As you know, the chippy is a new business set up to reinvest its profits back into the community, so we are learning as we go along. As we are community owned we want to be honest and open with our community so everyone knows what is happening.
"We want to learn from our experience and would rather remain closed for a few weeks and get it right, than rush to reopen and not be good quality."
Hailed as the first venture of its kind in the UK, the official launch on March 1 saw residents queueing in the snow and was attended by a film crew from BBC's The One Show.
The chippy is now looking to recruit two fryers to work alongside the existing staff. If you have relevant experience, you can submit a CV via the Three Trees Community Centre.
