Very sad to say that Peak Footwear has now closed its doors for the last time.
This was one of the toughest decisions I have ever had to make.
I wanted to create a community shop for like minded people and encourage people to get outside, this is something I am proud to say I achieved over the last six years. Like nearly all independent shops it was never about making lots of money, it comes from a passion for the outdoors and wanting to help people to get out in nature hiking, walking and trail running.
But it’s tough out there for the independents and the cost of living crisis, a government that takes just that bit too much, the cost of everything soaring just makes it so tough for small businesses. Sadly the improvement works going on in Holmfirth and the drop in income because of it just proved to be too much.
I want to thank every single one of my customers that went out of their way to support independent, often travelling from all over the country to visit us and an extra special thank you to all our regulars you gave me so much joy and I will miss all the chats and hearing of your outdoor adventures. To David , Amanda and Danny who worked alongside me for your professionalism dedication and all the laughs over the years.
And last but not least to say a heartfelt thank you to my wonderful suppliers that always treated my little shop with the same respect they would the big players you were a joy to work with.
Thank you and continue to support independent they need it more than ever.
