Mrs Bennie said the op-shop would close on April 30 and it was "the end of an era" after two and a-half years in that location. Mrs Grubb said the team behind the operation, which was run in shifts by 40 volunteers, was "very grateful" for the arrangement. The agreement with the building’s owners was the op-shop could occupy the space in a below-market rent lease agreement but if a tenant was found which could pay market rent it would have to move on.
