An Alsager shop has announced it's closing its doors - just seven months after opening.

The Dog's Dinner in Lawton Road was opened in April by animal lovers Donna Bonser and partner Phil Lane.

The shop stocks a range of products for man's best friend - dogs - from wet food to packet treats and toys and everything in between.

But it has announced on Social Media that it's closing on 21 October due to a combination of things.

A post on Social Media said: "We have loved meeting the dogs of this amazing town but sadly a combination of rising costs, parking battles and a falling pawfall means we can't sustain a second shop.

"Your loyalty points can be used in Alsager until 21st when we will move them across to The Dog's Dinner - Crewe

"We will still be serving customers there at 2, Ruskin Road, CW2 7JR - we have parking!!!!!

"Also look out for details of our delivery service which we will be posting over the next 10 days - free delivery to Alsager every Thursday so no pup goes hungry!

"Thanks so much for your warm welcome and support since we opened, it has been an absolute joy to meet everyone - we are just gutted we couldn't make it work.

"Please come and say farewell before we close our doors for the final time - remember we are only down the road in Crewe and Val's Delivery Van will be in Alsager every Thursday."

So a shop closing due to falling revenue as a result of the parking charges introduced in Alsager. Well done, Cheshire East!
