BonBons Coffee Bar closed due to water damage following heavy rain
A Penwortham coffee shop has had to close due to water damage closed by heavy rain fall.
BonBons Coffee Bar on Liverpool Road announced yesterday (Sunday, July 23) that it was temporarily shut due to water damage.
Sharing a video displaying numerous leaks coming down from their ceiling, BonBons wrote: “So this is our problem!! Came in at 9am to this!! We’ve moved everything out of the way and got as much water out of the carpet as possible…now we’re just waiting for the rain to stop and the repairmen to arrive!”
In their answerphone message, BonBons adds that they will not be taking bookings for the forseeable future, and that any updates will be posted on social media.
A Meet Your MP event with Katherine Fletcher, due to take place on Tuesday, July 25 at the cafe, has also been cancelled.
BonBons had been closed earlier in the month whilst the owner Paul Richmond, 56, underwent surgery for bladder cancer.
The coffee shop was shut between June 22 and July 4, with Paul’s wife and cafe co-owner Sylvia Holmes posting upon their reopening: “Thanks again for all your positive comments & support. It’s actually 3 months TODAY since this worrying time started and thank the stars we can now put it behind us.”
Heavy rain has fallen across Lancashire over the weekend, causing flooding issues in many areas. See the most recent updates here.
BonBons has been approached for further comment.
