Heartbroken Customers Say Goodbye to Cherished Shop
Customers of a cherished shop in Worthing, West Sussex, have been left heartbroken after learning that their beloved family-run shoe repairs shop will be closing its doors for the last time. The shop, Peter May & Grandson Shoe Repairs & Key Cutting, has served the local community for decades. But on November 10, 2023, locals walked into the store for one last time.
Owners Announce Closure on Facebook
Owners Michael and Ang Hard took to Facebook to share the devastating news with their loyal customers. They expressed their gratitude for the support over the years and thanked the community for their kindness. The couple mentioned that it was the "right time" for them to move on to new opportunities and pursue a different career path.
New Opportunities and Part-Time Services
Although the closure is bittersweet, Ang Hard assured customers that she will continue to provide her services on a part-time basis. She plans to focus on fixing horse riding boots and motorcycle leathers. Additionally, the owners recommended Footstep Shoe Repairs in Wallace Parade as a reliable local alternative for shoe repairs.
Devastated Customers Express Their Gratitude
The news of the shop's closure left dozens of loyal customers devastated. Many took to social media to express their gratitude and share their memories of the shop. Shopper Adrian Lee thanked the owners for their service and said that the shop will be missed by the local community. Fellow customer Giz Mo also expressed sadness and wished the owners all the best in their future endeavors.
High Street Challenges Continue
Unfortunately, the closure of this beloved shoe repairs shop is not an isolated incident. It comes as another long-standing business, a 150-year-old jeweler called Goodwins in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, is also set to close its doors for good. These closures highlight the ongoing challenges faced by high street businesses.
