MURRAY WILSON/FAIRFAX NZ

Several months of poor trading and the opening of two supermarkets in Tauranga led to the decision.

Another Mad Butcher franchisee has gone into liquidation, the eighth in the past two years.

The owners of the Mad Butcher store in Tauranga appointed BDO the liquidators of their company on Monday.

Several months of poor trading and the opening of two supermarkets in Tauranga had led to the decision, BDO said.

Liquidators said the store would close on Thursday evening, unless an urgent buyer could be found.
