A much-loved French cafe has announced its shock closure with the owners revealing a “difficult situation” has forced them to liquidate the company.
A social media post announced the closure of Meridan Plains cafe La Maison du Patissier on Tuesday, citing a “very difficult situation”.
“Unfortunately we have to let you know some bad news, we have had to shut the shop effective immediately,” the post stated.
“We have been put in a very difficult situation which we are unable to disclose any information about, but has ultimately forced us into liquidation.
“We would like to thank everyone who has supported the business through the years and apologise to those we have let down. We didn’t want it to be this way but can’t fix the damage that has been done.”
Loyal customers were quick to react to the news with many expressing their shock at the announcement in the lead up to Christmas.
“I know lots have placed, paid and put Christmas orders in as well as myself. But this closure would not have been planned. I sincerely hope from the bottom of my heart you are all ok,” one comment stated.
An Australian Securities and Investment Commission notice stated the company behind the cafe, AJCM Group Pty Ltd, entered liquidation on Tuesday, December 3.
Liquidator Clifford Sanderson was appointed to wind the company up.
La Maison du Patissier has been a firm favourite since it first opened in Cooroy before moving to Meridan Plains.
The cafe was established by French couple Eric and Francoise Pernoud before it welcomed new owners, Andrew Ackerman and Jade Le Moeligou earlier this year.
ASIC documents list Mr Ackerman and Ms Le Moeligou as the current directors of AJCM Group Pty Ltd.
Both the company directors and Mr Sanderson declined to comment.
