Petition: Keep Yarmouth Stores Open
Yarmouth Stores is Closing
So sad, it’s the end of a 119-year-long era. Yarmouth Stores in Plymouth’s Barbican is closing and its staff are being made redundant.
Can we help keep it open and save these salty jobs? The current manager has worked there since 1975, being their fourth manager in 119 years. It will be a great loss to the sailing community to see it close.
They sell woolly jumpers and canvas sailing smocks that sailors & tall ship crews buy when they stop in Plymouth on passage. It’s so sad that it’s closing. Sailors around the country, alongside locals & tourists, have worn their clothes for years and everybody knows about this little gem.
We need more independent shops like this, not fewer.
