A beloved sandwich shop in Dartford may “have no choice but to close” at the end of October after facing a struggle to stay afloat.

Sally Sue’s Sandwich Bar, based in St Vincent’s Road, has shared a statement on Facebook announcing that despite working hard to stay open, the business may have to close.

The business has struggled for over eight months and claims to have tried everything to stay open.

The statement goes on to share that it has had to cut its staff from eight to four, which includes Sally Sue herself.

She has also suffered with physical health issues for several months and for these reasons, will close at the end of October if business does not improve.
