People in Retford were stunned to find the shutters down at a popular butcher shop in Retford. Shoppers who tried to pop in to McKenzie's Meats in Carolgate on Monday (November 7) said the fridges had been emptied and the lights were off.
There has been no official notice over the future of the business, however. Nearby Treswell resident Mary Grundy, 75, also said she arrived to find the butcher closed on Tuesday, November 8. She said: "I saw the shutters were down... I always used to come here to get my meat."
Another resident, Frank Ward, 75, spoke generally about the importance of a butcher shop. He said: "Many elderly people, especially men, their spouse dies and they suddenly realise that they don't know how to cook.
