Roberts Bros Butchers in Dolgellau will close on 28 November. The owner Richard, who has run the business for 37 years, placed it on the market nearly a year ago but it failed to sell. He has now decided to retire and change direction in his life.

Richard said it had been 'a privilege to serve customers past and present and feel part of a lovely community through good times and even the bad like BSE and Covid'. He thanked customers for their support over the years and paid special tribute to loyal staff and friends Emyr and John, saying their service made his success possible.

The shop will continue trading until the end of November, fully stocked for most of that time. Customers are encouraged to place orders if they wish. Richard also reassured those with Christmas club money that they could spend it on meat or receive a full refund. The business, which dates back to 1840, has served Dolgellau and the surrounding area for more than 180 years.
