A NEWTON Abbot model shop is on the move.
Bekra Models will be relocating to premises in Teignmouth.
The Queen Street shop’s last day of trading is Saturday, February 15.
It will reopen at its new premises in Broadmeadow Industrial Estate on March 1.
The popular model shop stocks model railways, modelling materials, plastic model kits and paint, but it also carries pre-owned Lego, parts for radio controlled planes and dolls houses.
The shop said there were several factors behind the move, not least the rising costs of running a high-street shop, with the past six months of business being described as ‘not great’.
With a view overlooking the River Teign, the model shop’s soon to be new premises in Teignmouth will offer its customers, many of whom took to Facebook to wish Bekra Models luck with the move, free parking.
