Motor Parts in Fraserburgh to close in December
Owner Nathan Matthew shared the news on Facebook, writing: “It’s with a heavy heart we have come to the unfortunate decision to close the shop.
“It’s been a struggle these last few years with Covid and less footfall this last year and a half.
“Our last day will be the 31st December – we would like to thank everyone that has used us for the last 23 years.
“So if you need anything in this last month or so please come in and we look forward to seeing you before we close.
“We won’t be selling any vouchers as we normally do and if you have any vouchers/credit notes to use please use them before we close.”
