We received a letter in the post today from the company that operates the Jon David furniture store at 100 Market Street, Hoylake. It says that the shop is closing down and is having a final sale.
We’re evidently on their mailing list and as such we’ve been invited to the (invitation only) private sales that will be taking place next Wednesday and Thursday (13/14th May). The public sale then follows on the Friday through to Sunday. I gather the showroom will be now closed until next week in order that the owners can prepare the sale display. They indicate that £975,000 of stock must be sold.
The letter says that Molloys Furnishers Ltd are closing the Hoylake store (that was founded by Jon David back in the 1950’s) to focus on their other shops based in Southport and Lytham.
Oh dear! Seems the credit crunch is leaving some gaping holes in Market Street..
Lots of properties listed as for sale or rent just on the Savi website including Eskimo, Ann’s Florists, Mooch and former gents outfitters next door, Bar Cuba and new Wirral Horn Arcade development. Let’s hope it doesn’t go back to the terrible state it was in during the ’70s and 80s.

Hi Peter
Yep, bad for Hoylake that another business is closing. Don’t forget that Heaps is closing soon too. The gents outfitters was called J Barry or something like that.
The big “shop” at 12 Market Street, last called Culture and years ago a second-had car sales place is subject to planning permission for conversion to a cafe and takeaway.

Mollys haven’t had the shop that long, the shop cant be making money hence its closig down. Retailers are having a bad time at the moment.
