Lake Garage to close after 65 years of business

Lake Garage in Smithybridge is set to close after 65 years of business

Lake Garage in Smithy Bridge is set to close after 65 years of business on Friday (16 March).

Established in 1955, Lake Garage has remained a family business managed by the Rushton family. Paul and David are now set to retire.

Existing bookings that have been arranged after the closing date will still be carried out.

David’s son, Lewis, who has been with Lake Garage for the last 24-years, will be relocating in the area and will be open for business after the Easter holidays.

Paul said: “On behalf of David and myself, and staff we would like to thank all customers past and present for their custom over the last 65 years. It’s been our pleasure to serve the local community over the years and many of you have become lifelong friends. I hope many of you will continue to support Lewis in his new venture. 

“I would also like to thank all the members of staff who have worked with us throughout the years. We couldn’t have done it without you all. 

“Our thanks and best wishes to everyone from Paul, David and families and our Dad who will be looking down on us.”
