The owner of an American diner in Mapperley has made urged local people to ‘show if they want this venue or not’ following a lengthy quiet period.
Beckie Lawson runs Nissi’s American Diner on Mapperley Top and issued the post on the venue’s Facebook page.
She wrote: ” I’m going to be honest with everyone. I am thinking of changing the location of my American Diner from Mapperpley.
“The past few weeks have drained me. I don’t even feel like opening it but I will do. Because I don’t give up. This quiet period has to stop.
“I know the potential this diner has. The freshness it brings is next level! We didn’t win best burgers in 2023 for nothing. Did everyone just forget about us because we moved from town to Mapperpley?”
Nissi’s originally sold food to customers at the Inn for the Penny public house in Carlton before opening a venue in the city centre.
The business made the move to Mapperley Top in March 2024.
“It’s not a once a year treat or birthday treat place,” she wrote.
“The smiles I see on faces when food or milkshakes go out is unbelievable. I only did this diner for moments like that.
“You asked for nights. I give you pop-up nights.Where are ya?
“It’s time now, to show me you want this diner or not. Bums on seats can only make an independent business stay open. Otherwise it will go.”
The business plans to extend its opening hours next week and will be open on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings until 8pm
“Let’s see what happens,” Beckie added.
