THE owner of a city centre sandwich shop today shut the business after 13 years of trading.
Mark Preston, 57, said Kroustie in Bank Street, Bradford, had suffered a decline in customers since the opening of the Broadway Shopping Centre.
He said his weekly turnover had dropped by about £1,000 a week.
Mr Preston said: "People would rather wander around the Broadway and do some shopping then grab a quick 'plastic' sandwich."
He added that a decline in the number of offices and businesses in the city centre over the last five years had also harmed his trade.
