Greater Manchester-based independent retailer Ashton Discount Warehouse has announced plans to close due to the owner retiring.

The business, which has been established since 1964, is currently holding a retirement sale as it prepares to close its doors.

In social post, the retailer said: “After 58 years in business in Ashton we have decided to close for retirement. This was a difficult decision to be made, as we have enjoyed our time in Ashton. This will be our final sale and once everything is gone, we will be closing the doors.

“We would like to thank all our customers that have bought from us over the years. If you could support us by sharing this post, we really do appreciate it.”
