A much-loved Spalding store is closing for good today — and issued a farewell message to customers.
Bookmark, in The Crescent, has previously revealed that it would be shutting for good on July 25 — but the shop will instead now close at 4pm today (July 24) for the last time.

In a social media post, staff wrote: “We’d like to let you know that as of today, we’ll be wrapping up our trading activities. It’s not an easy decision, but one made with a full heart and deep gratitude from the support we’ve received from all of you over the years.
“As we close this chapter, we would like to personally thank all of our customers for your continued support and love for the bookshop and coffee house.
“Your loyalty, trust, and encouragement have meant the world to us. While we’re closing our doors, the memories and relationships we’ve built will always remain.
“From all of us at Bookmark, thank you for being part of our story.”

In recent weeks, customers have snapped up cut price books as the store cleared its stock — with parts of the shop closed off gradually. The coffee house closed on July 14.
Bosses have blamed the economic conditions and said the business is no longer viable.
The business moved to its current site in June 1998 and had won a number of awards over the years.
