A HUGE coffee chain with over 600 UK branches has closed its doors "after many years of serving customers".<\/p>\n
Caff\u00e8 Nero has pulled down the shutters of its shop in Union Street, Glasgow, after the lease ended.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the chain, which runs over 600 branches across the UK, said it closed "after many years of serving customers."<\/p>\n
They added: "The nearby store on Gordon Street is still open and happily welcoming customers to enjoy hand crafted, speciality coffee."<\/p>\n
Caff\u00e8 Nero isn't the only coffee chain closing branches in the UK.<\/p>\n
Costa Coffee is shutting its Oakham shop in the East Midlands on Friday after a string of closures.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The chain, which has over 2,000 sites in the UK, has shut six stores in recent months.<\/p>\n
However, one of these is only temporary for renovation while another is being relocated.<\/p>\n
Among the four permanent closures is the branch in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, which shut on June 3.<\/p>\n
The branch in Witney closed just two days later, while the chain's Wigan town centre branch shut up shop on June 25.<\/p>\n
