KINGSBRIDGE shop Nicola’s is closing down after 28 years and they want to thank all their customers for their support.

Run by Maureen Billinge and Nicola Lapthorn, Nicola’s began life in the Kings Market and moved to their Fore Street location after the devastating fire in 2001, which left them out of business before they moved into their current shop at 77 Fore Street in June 2002.

Maureen is taking the opportunity to retire, while Nicola is looking for something new. Nicola said she wanted to ‘thank all our customers and staff for their support over the years - they know who they are.’

Nicola’s will be having a 50 per cent off closing down sale until mid-August.
