Final month for Northampton furniture store as 90-year business prepares to close
One of Northampton's longest-established independent furniture stores has entered its final month of trading as it prepares to close its doors after almost 90 years in business.
Jones the Furnishers, on Kettering Road, announced earlier this year that it would be closing, bringing to an end nearly nine decades of trading in the town.
Now, the retailer says it has entered the final phase of its closing down sale, with further reductions introduced as it looks to clear all remaining stock before shutting at the end of August.
Assistant store manager Derek Hunt said the response from customers since the closure was announced had been overwhelming.
He said: “We are in the final phase of stock clearance and our already low prices have been reduced even further.
“We cannot thank our customers and suppliers enough for the support and good wishes we have received since the closure was announced.”
Mr Hunt also thanked the Chronicle & Echo for its previous coverage of the closure, saying it had generated a significant response from readers.
He added: “We are indebted to the Chronicle & Echo for the feature on their website as it has generated an enormous response.”
The business says all remaining stock must be sold before the store closes permanently at the end of the month.
