Kaspa’s Desserts in Crosshall Street in Liverpool city centre has been closed
A Liverpool dessert parlour which has served up tasty treats for nearly a decade in Liverpool city centre has suddenly closed with a notice from bailiffs placed in its window.
Dessert chain Kaspa’s opened in a unit on the corner of Crosshall Street and Victoria Street, promising to offer “the world’s favourite holt and cold desserts under one roof” and with a mission to “change the way you view dessert.” The chain – which has launched 100 parlours around the world – prides itself on serving hand-made Italian gelato.
Kaspa’s operates a franchise model, where individuals or companies or able to open up individual stores under the Kaspa’s banner, serving up the brand’s menu of desserts and sweet treats.
Now it appears the franchise being operated in Liverpool city centre has been forcibly closed, with bailiffs brought in.
According to the notice displayed in the window of the Victoria Street site, enforcement agents Parkinson Bailiff Services Ltd served notice on the site on October 6.
The forfeiture notice is directed to a business called Optimum Gelato Limited and comes from landlord Vita Liverpool Ltd and Butcher and Barlow LLP.

A forfeiture notice is a formal warning from a landlord or a tenant regarding a breach of a lease covenant, which could include the non-payment of rent or a failure to maintain the property.
The notice adds: “Under the terms and conditions of your lease we as authorised agents acting on behalf of the landlord have this day re-entered these premises and the lease is hereby determined.
“Any attempt by you or your agents to enter the demised premises will result in criminal/civil proceedings being taken against you.”
A separate notice states that the locks of the property have now been changed.
It adds: “The equipment within your ownership and in situ at the property are currently held at that address
“The good are ready for you to collect from the property, subject to access by prior arrangement.”
When the ECHO visited the site this morning, it was closed, with all the lights off and shutters down.
The ECHO has approached Kaspa’s Desserts for a response.
