“Paisley is a great town and have traded here for over 15 years and will continue to trade our other businesses, unfortunately Kilty Kilty has suffered the most over the last few years with trade getting harder and harder, ask any independent bar, shop or trader currently trading in Paisley, it’s very hard, the loss and demise of town centres all over the country has an affect on

all businesses, we had a wonderful 12 years on new street with loads of great memory’s we also had lots of great staff pass through our bars and also long term staff who all made Kilty Kilty a great place to work.

“We achieved national status many times for our hardwork and effort we received many awards over the years, all down to team work, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all our customers over the years you have been wonderful and a joy to serve, we will continue to trade Cafuffals and Fantoosh it’s just a business decision to close Kilty Kilty with heavy hearts.”
