City loses its last independent retailer after 140 years of business

More than a century of history has been wiped from the streets of Exeter after the last independent retailer closed its doors for the last time.

But current owner Martin McGahey, 63, said he has decided to move the business online as he wants to wind things down before his retirement.He said: ‘It’s a very sad day,I felt the weight of four generations today. Mr McGahey, who took over the business from his father Michael in 1992, criticised what he says he is a lack of support for retailers in Exeter city centre.

Thanks to the greedy real estate agents and landlords.

This definitely isn’t the only independent retailer in Exeter though.
