Edison’s Electrical is to shut up shop in Gray’s Walk, Newport after 2-and-a-half years there, but the business will continue to trade online. The shop, which sells a wide range of electrical products, has suffered several leaks leading to the loss of stock. Furthermore, the costs of running the store have become prohibitive. The remaining stock will be sold off in a sale that ends this Saturday (20th January). However, the business will continue to sell products online and through a local delivery service. Gordon Bush of Edison’s Electrical has said:
“Unfortunately, after just under two-and-a-half years, we have had to take the decision to close the shop. “Edison’s Electrical will continue to sell nationally online and local delivery is available across the Island. “As many of you will know, we had several leaks at the end of last year; the impact of this (being lost stock and several forced closures) means we can no longer justify keeping the shop open. “Our online sales have exceeded the shop every month since we opened. The cost of running the shop and the time needed to staff it are not sustainable; we will instead use the time to increase our online presence and work with more local businesses. “Huge thanks to everyone who has shopped with and supported us.”
