It’s with a heavy heart that we announce the impending closure of John Street Stores.
This has not been an easy decision. As business owners, we have put everything into the shop since the day we opened. However, the continued rise in costs in everything from stock and electricity to rates and everyday overheads has made it impossible for us to keep going.
We know this decision will impact our staff, our loyal customers, and the local area, and we are truly sorry for that. Your support has meant more to us than we can properly put into words.
Over the next few weeks, we will be open for a few hours each day as we sell through our remaining stock. We’d love to see as many of you as possible during this time.
We want to sincerely thank everyone who has supported us, those who shopped with us, worked with us, and helped us along the way. A special thank you to the residents and businesses around John Street, and to the wider business community across Derry, for your encouragement and support throughout our journey.
John Street Stores has been more than just a shop to us, it’s been part of our lives, and part of this community.
Thank you for everything ❤️
