Iconic store with 100-year legacy suddenly closes down with devastated owner blaming ‘break-ins, thefts & low footfall’

AN iconic store over a century old will soon close down leaving the owner and customers devastated.

Salts, which is based on New Union Street in Coventry, is shutting down after being established more than 100 years ago in 1916.

Founded by Harry Salt, Salts opened on Parkside in 1916 and moved to New Union Street in 1961.

But it is now shutting its doors later this month.
