Back in December 2016, with a four day old baby we opened the doors to Dukes.
Since opening, it’s been quite the ride and if the walls could talk, what a story they could tell. 😂
Life long friends have been made and so many of you are like family.
While we are still enjoying it and have a great little business, 2023 has been a brutal year personally and the time has come for us to make a change.
In light of this, the decision has been made to close our doors.
One person though who has been by my side through thick and thin is Adam . He is like a brother, I have absolutely loved working alongside him. I love him and his family so much and we will always be part of each others lives. Ads has been given an opportunity that will see him achieve great things and really show off his amazing talent.
Without starting Dukes I wouldn’t have met one of my best friends. Who ever would have thought that my landlord would go on to be one of your best friends who has been by my side through it all. She is someone who I love, respect and admire. She is an all round legend. I will never be able to thank you enough for all of your love and support.
Thank you to everyone who has ever worked at Dukes - you have left your mark & helped make it something so special, which I will be forever grateful for.
Now it’s time for me to go and be present with my kids who are growing up way too fast. I have been wanting a change for sometime and now it’s time.
Our last day of trade will be Sunday 8th October. Let’s go out on a high & be forever grateful for the community & family that has made dukes.
Once again, thank you, thank you, thank you. I am so incredibly grateful for all of the love and support over the past seven years x
