I spoke to the older brother (think they are brothers) on Saturday and he said at the moment he's not too fussed about starting with another shop.
They are online and will carry on with that unless just the right place comes up.

Another victim of the internet, people use them for getting a nut or bolt but then but all the bigger stuff from on-line discounters (I'm sad to say, I'm as bad as anybody for doing that) although over the summer months I seem to be in there buying small stuff most weeks!
I'll miss being able to show them a broken funny shaped bolt and having them delve into the back room and come out with a new one the same.
