Lottie Kitching, owner of zero waste shop ‘Waste Not’ on Well Road, has announced the Ilkley shop will be closing on Saturday 2nd November after four years.
The Ilkley shop opened in 2020 after the success for the first ‘Waste Not’ in Burley-in-Wharfedale which opened in 2018 and will now extend its opening hours.
Speaking on the shop’s Facebook page, Lottie said:
“After four wonderful years, it’s heartbreaking to close, but with rising costs and the ongoing struggle to make ends meet, it’s become harder and harder to prioritise orders and pay invoices.
“Though it’s difficult to say goodbye, as one door closes, another opens—or widens! I’m excited to focus on making the Burley shop everything you (hopefully) already love and more.”
The final opening days in Ilkley are will be Wednesday 30th October to Saturday 2nd November.
The store in Burley-in-Wharfedale is on Main Street in the village, you can also shop with Waste Not online at wastenot.tillex.co.uk and follow on Facebook at facebook.com/wastenotpopupshop
