Earthquake, Corona Virus: Canterbury Restaurant The Bicycle Thief closes its doors for the second time

Bicycle Thief, forced to close after the 2011 Canterbury earthquake, had to close again – this time forever.

The family-run Thai-based restaurant, south of Christchurch, said in a Facebook post that it would be permanently closed after it closed during the national closure.

The bicycle thief in Tai Tapu will not open after the close.

Reduced profit margins along with the coronavirus pandemic are believed to be the main factors driving closure.

“We want to thank you for your support over the past 15 years and let you know how grateful we are to meet you, serve you and see you during the festivities, and be a small part of your world,” the post said.

After Serra (the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority) took over the thief’s bike [building] On Latimer Square, we are saddened to lose this restaurant as if it were someone.

“When it was finally time to go, we took out the booths, packed the bulbs and stored the remaining crockery, believing that if we could stick to all the pieces, we would still keep the magic.”

The restaurant reopened after five years in Tai Tapu. Richard Middleton and her partner Lisa Wicksted co-owned the company. Their three daughters, Laila, Maya and Nova Middleton, worked there.

Home manager Lily Middleton said the closure was “strict” on the family, but “we did everything we could.”

She said the feeling was similar when the restaurant was forced to close after earthquakes.

“By looking at him as a family in many ways, it looks as if it was the last time we closed, getting a big final event completely out of our hands to be the last nail in the coffin, if you were to do, every time you felt so helpless … One day you will be there, the next day I am not. “

She thanked the community for his support.

“We always knew we had something special with our customers, and we had an evil community that was good for us.”

Although there were no immediate plans for any future restaurants (the idea of ​​returning to the central city was considered in 2017), Middleton said the family “will never say”.

“I remember that after the first closure we had no idea but everything comes together along the way, [but] “There are not many plans to survive now,” she said.

The former thief bicycle building located on the corner of Latimer Sq and Worcester St was built after the earthquakes to make way for development in the city’s eastern framework.
