On Friday baked potato chain Spudulike announced they had become the latest casualty of the British high street, with all 37 of their UK stores closing down. Originally from Edinburgh, the chain peaked in popularity during the 1980s and 1990s, but in recent years struggled to compete with an explosion of new fast food competitors.
