A HIGH street homeware store is set to close after an “amazing” decade with shoppers left asking why.
CoCo 64 is a homeware shop in Newport, Shropshire, which will be closing its doors for good in the next couple of months.
The store has been trading furniture, home accessories, and gifts for the past decade.
Kim Day, the owner of the store, posted the sad news to Facebook.
She said: “It’s been an amazing 10 + years in our wonderful town of Newport, but it’s time for my next chapter.
“CoCo 64. will be closing its doors in the next couple of months & I truly want to say a massive ‘Thank you’ to so many People.
“The support, friendships & laughs have been truly unforgettable & I will fondly hold so many special memories.
“May I say a special thank you to all of my loyal amazing customers, staff past & present, Davis White & Perry & my girlies for everything you have done to make CoCo’s such a warm welcoming place to shop.
“With love, Kim.”
Unhappy shoppers have taken to the comment section.
“One person said: “This is very sad news…there’s a lot of shops leaving Newport! Just why?!”
Followed by a second: “The shop was so lovely, I always nipped in when I was in Newport.

“We will miss you so much. I had a great time being part of your team, happy memories.”
This loss comes after the closure of clothing store Daisy Chain, also on Newport High Street.
Sally’s Flowers, on Upper Bar announced it would serve its customers last on May 20, revealing rising costs as reason for its downfall.
And just last week Smallwood Lodge tea Room closed in the area.
It was located in a historic Grade II listed building.
The cafe served its customers for the final time on Saturday, March 1.
