Iconic Glasgow bakery Mortons Rolls has reportedly ceased all trading. The company, based in Drumchapel, was formed in 1965 when it began selling morning rolls. It has since branched out into other baked goods.
Reports of the company's issues first began on Friday with the much-loved firm said to be closed with immediate effect. Its accounts are overdue by more than two months, with its annual results due to be filed in December last year.
Following the news, Glasgow cafes have warned they may not be able to offer Mortons rolls to customers this weekend.
Glasgow MSP Paul Sweeney tweeted about the news, saying: "This is awful news. Coming after the closure of McVitie's in Tollcross, losing the iconic Mortons Rolls of Drumchapel and 250 jobs would be another hammer-blow to Glasgow's economy.
"The government must step in now to try to find a firm that will buy Mortons out of administration."
Mortons Rolls has been contacted for comment.
