Mystery surrounds apparent closure of menswear store in Nuneaton
A menswear clothing store which has been on Nuneaton's high street for decades appears to have closed.
Shoppers spotted a notice on the door on Greenswood Menswear on Abbey Street saying the store was now shut.
However there has been no official confirmation the store has ceased trading.
In October last year, the store was given a stay of execution and was able to remain open after the business was bought out of administration.
The suit shop chain went into administration in September 2017 but the group was bought by Versatile International Trading Limited, with 40 stores remaining open - including the one in Abbey Street.
CoventryLive contacted Greenwoods, which was founded in Bradford in 1860, for a comment but at the time of publication no information had been provided.
Many residents have hired wedding suits from the shop, which has been a fixture in town for more than four decades, as well as formal wear.
But, in recent months, there had been many special offers and sales held at the store, leading some to question its future.
