A shop in Ulverston that 'sold everything' announced last week that it would be closing its doors.
Cut Price, found at 20 Market Street, shared that a closing down sale was in effect from Monday, November 25.
This will see all products sold at half price as one last way to give back to the community, before it eventually closes for the final time.

Lisa Kirk, who has helped manage the business, said: "To all my customers, I would like to say a massive thank you for supporting me over the years.
"It has meant so much to me - thanks one more time, all the best."
Lisa's mum, Jill, has been working at the store with owner Alan - who is now looking forward to his retirement - for over a decade, having first started the job back in 2012.
The much loved general store was previously known as Kendal Cut Price Ltd between 2003 and 2011 before the present team took over.
Cut Price has built its reputation as a 'proper traditional general store' for the community.
Its popularity stemmed from how, if residents were unable to find what they needed in Ulverston, it was well known that the shop would 'probably stock it'.
The news last week has already been met with sadness from the community, as well as gratitude for the service that the business has provided for so many years.

The Deputy Mayor of Ulverston, Councillor Shirley-Anne Wilson, said: "[They] all will be very much missed.
"[They've] been a great addition to our town, and I'm wishing them all happiness in all they do."
A key aspect of Cut Price's charm stemmed from its 'lovely staff' and how people were always welcome to pop by for a 'visit and a chat'.
As one local commented, the store will be a 'great loss' for Ulverston, whilst another resident added that it was a 'great shop, with a great owner and great workforce'.
