A traditional and American sweet shop is set to close after almost six years on the high street. Co-owners of Simply Sweet, James Singer and Andrea Ward, announced on Friday, April 14, that the shop in Carter Gate will be closing due to the continued rising costs and reduced footfall in Newark town centre.
In a Facebook post, they stated: "It has not been an easy decision, but with the current economic climate, continued rising utility costs, as well as the combined lower footfall in the town centre, we feel that this is our best option. The last few years have certainly been a challenging time for all high-street retails, and we have survived some turbulent times.
"Simply Sweet will continue in some form from home, with markets, events and on-line. We’d like to take the opportunity to thank each and every one of our customers who have used us over the years.
