Almost six decades of family flooring and furnishings retailing has ended with the closure of Denis Green.
The Witney, Oxfordshire retailer and Greendale member has closed following the retirement of Stan Green.
His father opened the store in 1967, with expansion seeing it move twice in the town. When Denis retired, Stan and his brother Roger and his brother-in-law Collin Olliffe took over in 2008. Stan has owned the company since 2016.
The store employed five people, including Stan’s daughter and nephew.
Stan says he will miss the ‘day to day contact with customers and their families that we have worked for over the years. We have been so privileged to have such a loyal customer base over many years of trading.
‘Business seemed so much easier in the early days, but with rising overheads and so many new regulations brought in by the various governments it’s so much more difficult for all businesses. We have been so thankful for so many loyal customers supporting us.’
