With the closure in 2006 to the dismay of customers and staff, a group of new owners bought the business and decided to bring back the fish and chip shop, but with a new feel for 2012. Speaking on behalf of the group, co-owner Mubasshir Hussain said “It is a landmark in Bradford, we all grew up there, we used to go regularly for fish and chips. It can only be good news for Bradford.”
