Tyler said the shop had secured an option to relocate into the new site once construction is complete, if they decide to reopen.<\/p>\n
“It’s a bittersweet moment for everybody,” he said. “Most people are aware that retail has been struggling for a number of years, and with the development of the Carillon Court, it’s become much more difficult to trade. <\/p>\n
“But on the bright side for us, it’s a positive move. <\/p>\n
“We can honestly say that we’re looking forward to new development that’s going to be happening in two or three years’ time.”<\/p>\n
Tyler said the store had been “so lucky” to have loyal staff members and regular customers. <\/p>\n
“It’s been a pleasure to serve the people of Loughborough and the surrounding community,” he said. “It’s been our lives and our fathers’ and grandfathers’ lives. <\/p>\n
“We’ve made a lot of friends and acquaintances along the way and long may that continue until such time as we cease trading in the new year.”<\/p>\n
Plans to demolish part of the building, submitted by Leicester Commercial Limited, were approved by Charnwood Borough Council’s planning committee in May. <\/p>\n
Two previous applications were refused over concerns the developer had not provided enough information on how the demolition would affect Tylers and the former Green Man pub.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyler said the shop had secured an option to relocate into the new site once construction is complete,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":673155,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[84,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-673154","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/673154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=673154"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/673154\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/673155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=673154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=673154"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=673154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
