A public row has broken out between the landlord of the Peach Tree, Havana Republic and Century, in Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury, and The Shire Collection, which took the leases over in November 2022.
Landlord Martin Monahan is also the owner of the Buttermarket in the county town and said he had wanted married couple Michael Anderson-Halford and Ben Anderson-Halford to succeed.
Mr Monahan said: "I have been so patient, I wanted them to succeed but in the end it feels like a relief to get them out."
He added that there had already been interest from potential new occupiers of the building to move in once issues with the existing lease have been resolved, saying he had a phone call from the leaseholders telling him they had "vacated the building".
