Wed, 14 Jan 2026 Shop for small businesses shuts after low sales

The businesses' co-owner says it is because of a lack of sales and high overheads.
The store's closure has affected 48 local suppliers who have lost their revenue stream, with three people losing their jobs. The majority of stock items were sourced from small businesses in the Midlands, with some items including ceramics, art, clothing, and fragrance. However, the two other stores in Stoke-on-Trent and Warrington are reportedly well-supported. Nixon stated that the decision to close the Telford store was made to ensure the survival of the other two shops. The closure has resulted in a loss of revenue for small businesses in the area.
