Charity to close its Melton town shop

The LOROS store, in Market Place, raises money to support terminally ill adult patients, their family and carers across the county.

A spokesperson for the charity said: “Sadly our Melton shop is set to close as its profitability is considerably below that of all our other 28 shops.

“This is due to a combination of both high rent and low footfall on non-market days, and it has left us with no other option but to close our much-loved Melton shop.”

The charity said it would explore other fundraising opportunities in Melton, if they were economically viable.
