A buyer is being sought for a Lichfield fruit and veg store in Lichfield.
Joe Richards had 11 shops across the Midlands, including one on Bore Street.
The entrepreneur died in July and now Cranfield Business Recovery has been appointed as administrative receivers for the company.
Spokesman Tony Mitchell said: “The business had developed a high-quality reputation and there has been extensive goodwill shown from suppliers and customers in the weeks after Mr Richards’ death.
“We will be working to achieve a disposal of the business and wish to talk to any interested party about them acquiring one or more of the stores.”
