Colemans stationery and art shop on the High Street will be closing its doors for the last time in the Spring.

The iconic Man of Ross building is on the market with local agent Jonathan Preece.

Nick Coleman said: “Sara and I would like to thank all our wonderful customers for their valued custom over the last 16 years. It is hard to express how it feels after 16 years to have to leave Ross. It has been a big part our life.

“We have been affected by the pressures on the High Street which are ever increasing. We have tried hard to continue but despite the support of so many of you the time is right for this decision.”

Colemans will be continuing business online and in their shop in Malvern. They will continue to offer local deliveries to Ross and the surrounding areas.See this week’s paper for more stories like this, available in shops and as a Digital Edition now.
