Today was a sad day for the staff at Winton’s Ethel Austin who are now left jobless. In their last day of trading, the store was busy and offering 20% discounts on most products.
The manager was in good spirits but was unable to comment on the closure.
The chain went into administration last week and several stores have been closed across the country.
Ethel Austin is not the only sign of the tough economic times hitting the area. The old Woolworth’s store on Winton high street has been empty for over a year. Work is now beginning on transforming the old family favourite into a 99p store.
