It's always sad when such a long-standing business has to close. But new businesses will form and some will become successful.

A sad sight indeed - the car sales industry is
suffering here too.

An era comes to an end, but if you make the wrong product and an inferior product to boot for decades the inevitable happens. Great catch Dave and nice one for the challenge. A sign of the times (pardon the pun).
