Fork It, a beloved spot on Douglas's Victoria Street, is set to close its doors as owner Sarah Jones passes the business to new hands. After welcoming customers since December 2023, the café will soon reopen under fresh ownership following renovation work.

End of an Era for Fork It

Sarah Jones, the founder of Fork It, announced the bittersweet decision to sell the business after 2.5 wonderful years of serving the local community. "After 2.5 wonderful years, the time has come for us to say goodbye," she shared, expressing her gratitude to the loyal customers who made the café a cherished destination.

"We would like to sincerely thank each and every one of our customers for your incredible support, loyalty and friendship," Jones added. "It has been an absolute pleasure serving our local community, and we are truly grateful for the memories we've shared."

Last Chance to Visit

To celebrate its closure and mark the transition to new ownership, Fork It will host a 50% off sale on Friday, 17 July. It's the perfect opportunity for visitors and regulars to stock up on their favourites while supporting the café's final day.

While Fork It's chapter closes, the Victoria Street location's story isn't over—renovation work will prepare the space for its exciting new chapter under fresh management. Keep an eye out for reopening announcements as the Isle of Man's food and beverage scene continues to evolve.
