Revolution shuts doors in Wolverhampton city centre
A popular bar has closed its doors, with bosses today blaming a drop in trade.
Revolution, in Wolverhampton city centre, has shut with the loss of nine jobs.
Redundancy packages have been agreed for eight workers, while one worker is still in consultation about payment.
The finance director of Inventive Leisure, which runs Revolutions Bars, said despite concentrating on peak trading periods of Friday and Saturday nights, that the decline in the financial performance of the Princess Street nightspot was not sustainable.
Sean Curran, from Inventive Leisure, said: "The closure was because of declining financial performance.
"The site has been under review for some time and we tried to reduce the cost of running it by concentrating on peak trading periods - such as Friday and Saturday nights - but even those have seen a decline in financial performance that was not sustainable for us."
"We have had some interest from other operators; from independent operators rather than multi-site operators."
Furniture and audio and visual equipment has been moved to other Revolution Bars.
