Family-owned furniture retailer Vaseys has announced the closure of one of its two stores.
Situated at Great Dockray in Penrith, the retailer has launched a £675,000 closing down sale with plans to sell the premises once the sale concludes.
The business said that increasing economic pressures and online competition led to the decision to close the store, which has been trading for around 80 years.
It’s other store on Lancaster Street in Carlisle remains open as usual and is unaffected by the Penrith store closure.
“A heartfelt thank you to all our loyal customers in Penrith and beyond – your support over the years has meant the world to us,” the retailer said in its announcement on social media.
