Bagel Franchise Shuts Its Doors

Manawatu Standard:

There is a noticeable hole in Palmerston North’s lunchtime food scene as the Wholly Bagels franchise on The Square has gone into voluntary liquidation.

But Wholly Bagels Ltd, which oversees all Wholly Bagels franchises, says it hopes to get the cafe up and running again.

The Palmerston North franchise, which opened for business in December 2007, leased its premises from the Palmerston North City Council.

It was operated by Quarn Developments Ltd, whose director Shiree Arnold said she had to be careful when talking about the franchise.

“I’m not sure now is the best time to talk to the paper.”

Napier-based liquidator John Managh, of John Managh Associates Ltd, said he had advertised for someone to take on the equipment and other chattels, which have remained on-site since the franchise’s closure on Saturday.
