Shop that's claimed it's closing down for 8 months actually closes

A Nottingham homeware store which used a speaker to blare out the news that it was closing down for months has finally actually shut. .

Alamqin Khan, who managed the business, told Nottinghamshire Live in September that the shop was closing. However, despite the many signs displayed in its windows and the message pleading with shoppers to take advantage of sales being blared out by a speaker, it remained open for more than half a year - prompting some city dwellers to joke that it would never close its doors.

Nottingham residents, some of whom were annoyed by the computerised voice which would constantly read out the closure announcement to those within earshot of the shop's large speaker, took to social media to express their disbelief that it had actually closed. "It's finally happened...The day of reckoning is upon us," one Reddit user joked, sharing a picture of the vacated store.

Previously, on a different Reddit post before the shop shut, those living in the city complained about the loudspeaker promoting the months-long closing down sale. "The notice they play on that massive speaker is really annoying," one account said, with a second adding "I don't understand how they're allowed to play that speaker out onto that street".

Last September Mr Khan, the store's manager at the time, said the store had been very busy since its sale started. The shop sold bedding, tupperware, pots, pans and various other household items.
