A city motorcycle dealership has closed.
The Stratstone Triumph showroom in Northgate Street, Leicester has shut its doors to customers and there appears to be no motorcycles inside.
A Stratstone spokeswoman confirmed the site had closed, but is unable at this stage to say why and how many people worked there.
The £1.5 million showroom was opened in 2010 at an event fronted by Triumph chairman Lord Digby Jones. The site employed 12 people at that time.
Speaking at the time, Trevor Finn, chief executive of Nottingham-based motor group Pendragon, which owns Stratstone, said: "We are delighted to add another Triumph dealership to our expanding motorcycle portfolio.
"Triumph has proven to be a strong and formidable brand, whose motorcycles are unique and truly inspiring.
"We are extremely proud to have them within the Stratstone Group and we hope our relationship is one that continues to grow."
Also speaking in 2010, Hinckley-based Triumph said: "This store will give us the quality of premises and level of service demanded by our customers."
The launch of the new showroom meant that Windy Corner, Barwell, a few miles from the legendary marque's headquarters, was no longer an official Triumph dealer.
In the 12 months to June 30, 2013, Triumph sold more than 50,000 bikes during a year for the first time since its relaunch in 1983.
