Mystery surrounds apparent closure of Chichester store
Speculation is growing that a store in Chichester has been closed, only two months after it was opened.
Mr Arkwright’s Tool Emporium was opened in January by Susan and David Corben to fill a 'gap in the city centre for the community to visit a friendly and helpful hardware store', according to the store's Facebook page.
However, the shop, based in Southgate, has been shut for a number of weeks with a sign on the store stating: "Sorry we're closed."
