SIGNS have gone up for a new city fish and chip shop, after the previous owner was forced to sell over visa complications.
The former site of Bullring Chippy in St Johns – which is now fully closed down – has had teaser posters put up in the window for a new fish and chip spot called Cod City.

The building has operated as a fish and chip shop for almost 25 years.
The signs – covering three windows and the windows in two doors – advertise the food which will be on offer.
One of the signs reads: “Hello Worcester…. Coming Soon!!!”

Bullring Chippy had been operating from the location last year until the former owner – listed as Lohia Muskan on Companies House – put it up for sale on businessesforsale.com, citing visa rule changes as her reason for selling.
It had been a fish and chip shop for almost 25 years, while Miss Muskan had been running it for six months at the time of putting it on the market.

“This has been a chippy for almost 25 years now. Due to Visa rule changes, I want to sell the business because I can’t self-sponsor myself now,” the online business listing read.
“It has been six months since I took over and it is running well.
“(It is) making almost £4,000 per week, while only opening four to five hours a day.
“It will not require a chef, anyone can learn.”
The listing claimed that expansion potential could see weekly earnings rise to between £8000 and £9000 a week.
At the time of the listing, Miss Muskan declined to speak to the Worcester News.
