A BELOVED high street store is shutting its doors sending devastated fans into mourning.
The fan-favourite furniture, homeware and gift store is holding a massive sale with reductions of up to 50 per cent as it shuts its doors for good.
Located on 64A Regent Street, Stone The Crown will close for good as its parent company prepares to go into administration.
The Leamington-based store put a statement out on its website to inform its loyal fans.
They said: “The time has unfortunately arrived for a closing down sale at Stone the Crows.
“Yes, you read that correctly.”
“Our company will soon be entering a period of administration, so we’re offering our customers unbelievable discounts first to sell all of our stock in the coming weeks.”
Lamenting fans poured out on social media.
Hundreds of saddened residents took to Facebook in order to express their dismay.
The once thriving and popular shop was mourned on the Leamington Spa Noticeboard Facebook page.
One said: “This is the best shop ever so many memories growing up so sad to see this.”;;
Another commented: “This is so sad. It’s a Leamington institution.”
And another said: “I can’t believe it.
“That’s been there a long time now.
“Extremely sad news.
“Another very good retailer going from Leamington.”
The popular store also has branches in Dronfield in Derbyshire, and Braintree in Essex.
A member of staff at the Leamington branch said he thought the company would be keeping one of the branches open but not the Leamington branch.
He added that the store had been extremely busy due to the closing down sale.
