Wrexham: Owners set to step down at Toast Cafe and Deli
It's business as usual for Toast Cafe and Deli on Charles Street as Claire and Paul Wright confirm it's an end of an era for the pair who have transformed the space into a popular independent eatery.
However, customers can be assured the cafe will remain open amid this new long process to find the right buyer for the business.
An announcement on social media reads: "We have just uploaded one of the hardest posts we've ever had to write but after much soul-searching we have decided now is the time to sell our beloved to^st cafe and deli.
"We know this will come as a surprise/shock to most of you, but we feel it has come the time for Paul and I to hang up our aprons!
"We have put our heart and soul into creating a successful award-winning business over the last 3 years, that is loved by so many customers but we feel it is now the time to take a well-deserved rest before moving onto the next chapter and opportunities in our lives.

"WE ARE NOT CLOSING! Please don't worry, we're not planning on going anywhere for a while and it is very much business as usual but we just feel it is time to hand the reigns over to someone new who has the drive and energy to expand the business further which we feel is needed at this time.
"We have lots of ideas on how the business has great potential to be expanded further, which we will share with interested buyers.
"We would also offer a period of training and handover for the new buyers (if required) so our customers can still get the same to^st experience that they love so much.
"We have also just told our wonderful team of the planned sale and we ask that you be mindful of this when visiting us as we all come to terms with this announcement."
The owners have also secured new four-year lease which isn't included in the sale. Buyers interested in purchasing the business can contact them directly at toastcafeanddeli@
The much-loved cafe, operated by husband and wife team, is known for its locally sourced ingredients and delicious menu, including dishes like eggs benedict, grilled cheese toastie and Wrexham Lager Welsh rarebit.
It's cosy atmosphere and wide selection of coffee and gifts means it's no surprise the cafe has been shortlisted to the final of the Best of Welsh Business Awards 2025 alongside others across the Wrexham area.
An event will be held on June 18 at the Flint Mountain Park Hotel to celebrate.

Since the announcement, customers have expressed their sadness and well-wishes.
One said: "Best of luck in your new adventures, but what a great achievement you have done in such a short period of time."
Another individual added: "I'm completely in shock, we are gutted, there is nowhere in Wrexham quite like toast cafe and deli and I've tried them all.
"You have created a great, safe and happy place which is family orientated and with the best owners and staff. We will miss you so much."
For now, it's business as usual and customers can continue to book tables at the deli until further updates are shared in the future.
