A popular Sunshine Coast wine bar and cafe are among the latest hospitality businesses to shut shop in the region as the companies behind the venues bring in liquidators.

An Australian Securities and Investments Commission notice stated Grounded at Woombye Pty Ltd and Grounded at Mooloolaba Trust and Dolan family Trust were placed in liquidation on Wednesday, July 24.

The company operated the two Grounded cafes in Woombye and Mooloolaba.

A separate ASIC notice also stated Grounded at Buderim, the company behind the Argo Bar and Restaurant, had been placed with liquidators.

Liquidators at Olvera Advisors, Anthony Phillip Wright and Mohammed Mirzan Bin Mansoor, have been appointed to the companies.

It is understood the Argo Bar and Restaurant venue and the Mooloolaba Grounded cafe have both closed their doors, however the Woombye site remains open.

Paul Dolan, owner of Grounded@Woombye, Grounded@Mooloolaba and Buderim restaurant Argo placed his two companies into liquidation last week.

According to the ASIC documents Sunshine Coast man Paul William Dolan acted as the director for both companies up until they entered liquidation last week.

Mr Dolan reopened the popular Buderim wine bar Argo in June last year after the previous owner, Jason Taylor, shut the doors following a struggle to find staff.

Mr Dolan declined to comment on the circumstances surrounding the closures of the venues and the liquidation of the companies.

Both Mr Mansoor and Mr Wright have been contacted for comment.
