A US coffee shop that made headlines around the world for having bikini-clad baristas has been forced to close down.

Perky Cups was evicted from a shopping centre in Denver, Colorado, after allegedly breaching the terms of its lease and failing to pay rent.

Store owner Jason Bernal and building landlord Greg Coleman are now locked in a court dispute over the alleged unpaid money.

Mr Coleman claims the shop violated the lease by sending staff dressed in bikinis out onto the street when it did not have a permit to trade outside.

Perky Cups infuriated several nearby residents and traders by employing the scantily-clad women to attract customers.

Local councillor Molly Markert last month started a petition signed by about 30 people calling for a boycott of the shop and surrounding businesses.

Mr Bernal has said he plans to find a new location for the store in the coming weeks.
