What’s the catch? Chip shop owners stall in bid to launch restaurant
Business owners along a stretch of Lord Street in Southport think there’s something fishy over an as yet unopened chip shop. The Kings Plaice, near to Debenhams, was due to open in July after the former City Look clothing store was seemingly transformed overnight into a fish and chip shop.
However months later nothing has happened. With only the signage and new exterior to show any change to what was a derelict unit.
It’s understood the owners of the chip shop may not have applied for planning permission before starting their new venture, meaning they’ve had to have their dream catch put on hold until they are allowed permission by the council to open.
If successful the Kings Plaice will be only the second ever fish and chip shop to open on the main Lord Street strip.
