Owners of Douglas eatery say 'prosperous days are becoming sparse'

After nine years on Castle Street in Douglas, The Tea Junction has announced it will close next year.

In a statement the café owners say they won't be renewing the lease when it ends in May 2025.

They say the decision comes amidst rising wage costs coupled with a 'turbulent inflationary world', adding; 'the prosperous days are becoming sparse'.
