For nearly nine decades, hardware shop Coopers has been a High Street mainstay in Suffolk and Norfolk.
The retail stalwart, which has a head office in Worlingham near Beccles, opened back in 1938.
But, on Saturday at 15:00 BST, trading will cease and the company’s stores in Beccles, Bungay, Halesworth, Harleston, Leiston and Framlingham will close.
Commercial director Stuart Ruskin said the firm, like many other shops, had struggled to attract customers through the doors because of “how the High Street is today”.
