years in business.

Pink's Deli in the Walkway in the Masters Ltd. building on Front Street is being closed by owner Frank Arnold while he waits for a buyer.

"It's just not feasible for me to keep the doors open without a chef,'' he said. "Particularly with it being on the market. It is still up for sale but just not as a going concern.'' Mr. Arnold has owned the busy breakfast and lunch deli almost four years, and told the eight staff the news on Tuesday.

Supermarket owner Mr. Arnold bought the deli from the original owners Andrew and Donna Pink in December, 1994.
