(UK) Patisserie Valerie finance director arrested - poss large scale fraud

Trading in its shares suspended.

The first Patisserie Valerie store was opened in the Soho district of London in 1926 by a Belgian woman, Madame Valerie. It is now part of a chain with 206 stores and employs more than 2,000 people.

Patisserie shops on stock market, wow! How are the pastries?

They were great. Then they ran out of dough.

You can’t have your cake and eat it.

Or, as the baker who had been caught in adultery said - you can’t have your Kate and Edith.

Looks like they may be OK for now, due to a cash injection from the major shareholder. Which is good as their nearest outlet for me is at my normal Sainsburys - it’s still a trial but they take space at the supermarket’s bakery section.

“Has someone been creaming off the profits?”
