Landmark jeweller’s shop H Samuel is to close next month after more than 50 years in Dumfries.
The High Street store will haul down the shutters on September 10 with the loss of five jobs – two full-time and three part-time.
Manager Helen Shrimpton said: “They are shutting quite a few of the bigger city stores so the wee ones like ours are getting dumped too, so that’s it.
