00:00A Liverpool city centre food hall has closed its doors with immediate effect.
00:05The GPO, which was located in the Met Quarter, opened in 2021.
00:09Located at the Victoria Street entrance adjacent to the Everyman Cinema, the GPO was the largest
00:14food hall in the city with 11 independent vendors offering a host of different cuisines.
00:19But after three years in business, the food market is now closed for good.
00:23In a statement, a spokesperson for the Met Quarter said the food hall closed with immediate
00:28effect on November 7th and is believed to have been put into liquidation by the operator's
00:34parent company, Blend Family.
00:37The owners of the shopping centre added,
00:39Despite our best efforts to support GPO, the business has not performed to the level expected.
00:46There are a combination of reasons for this.
00:49We still see Met Quarter as a significant leisure and food destination within the city
00:54centre.
00:55The GPO, Liverpool's website and social media accounts have all been removed.
