A long-serving and well-known hardware and bicycle store in Peel is closing its doors.

Owner Stuart Hardingham has announced that Simpsons, on Michael Street, is having a closing down sale ahead of his retirement.

Simpsons has been a permanent fixture on Michael Street since 2005, later relocating to a larger building only a few doors down in 2015.

It sells hardware appliances, bicycles, and outdoor equipment. While its unclear as to when the store will officially shut, it’s expected to be around Christmas time.
