AN INDEPENDENT business situated in the heart of Darlington is set to close its doors.

The Health Warehouse, located on Post House Wynd near High Row, has boarded its doors and windows in the lead-up to its closure.

The health shop and café will hold a closing down sale on Wednesday May 8 from 8am, where a sign in the window states everything must go.

The business is known for selling vegan and vegetarian food produce, such as cakes, paninis and burgers, as well as vitamins, wholefoods and eco-friendly products.

In 2016 it was named on a list of favourite places to eat by Darlington Friends of Earth.

The owner of The Health Warehouse declined to comment.
