Coughlans Bakery has shut all 32 shops in South London. The long-standing chain folded on Tuesday after liquidation. Surging bills and debts made trading impossible for this decades-old business. Romesh Ranganathan, the comedian who co-owns it, called the news devastating. Workers now face redundancy as the bakeries close immediately. The British Baker said the collapse matches the original empire’s size. A well-known local name has disappeared from the high street. Zero revival talks are happening at present.
