Popular Ballymena takeaway 'BHOP' has announced on Thursday evening, 13 October, that the business is set to close after 25 years of serving pizza.
In a post on social media, BHOP located on Queen Street in the town, blamed the closure on rising costs facing the business.
A spokesperson for BHOP said:
"We regret to inform our customers that BHOP will be closing on Sunday 16th October, due [to] rising costs and will no longer be serving our pizza menu.
"We would like to take this opportunity to thank our loyal customers over the past 25 years for your ongoing support."
The statement went on to confirm that Eatsville chip shop will continue to trade as normal.
"On the upside Eatsville WILL continue to deliver as usual through both telephone lines, Apps etc. So this is your last chance to get a BHOP pizza before we close," the spokesperson concluded.
