A BAKERY which only opened towards the end of last year in Bournemouth's Richmond Gardens Shopping Centre has closed for good.

Baked 2 Take, which was situated by the entrance of what used to be the Dalkeith Arcade, had only just reopened after suddenly closing its doors after Christmas.

The Echo understands problems with suppliers and the bakery's umbrella company forced the business owner's hands.

A message from the freeholder, placed on the door last week, simply stated: "Arlington as Freeholder of 89 Old Christchurch Road, Bournemouth, has taken possession of this property in accordance with the lease dated 14th July 2017 to Southern Catering Limited."

It is understood once the unit is cleaned, it could reopen - on a temporary basis - as a gift shop.

Baked 2 Take first opened towards the end of the last year after taking over the unit formerly occupied by gift shop All In One.
