DISAPPOINTED shoppers fumed "last business out please turn off the lights" after another major high street retailer announced a closure.
An "excellent" Robert Dyas branch will be imminently waving goodbye to loyal customers amid a huge shake-up.
The popular site, in Castlepoint, Bournemouth, is set to shut up shop on July 20.
Fans will have to make the most of anticipated closing down sales in the meantime.
The sad news comes after the store was served a notice by their landlord.

It's understood the owner wished to split the unit in two and a mutual agreement couldn't be reached.
A Robert Dyas spokesperson confirmed: "The landlord has served notice on our Castle Point store, as they wanted to split the unit in two and sadly we were not able to mutually agree terms in bidding for one of those units.
"We will leave that store on July 20th, and continue to look for an additional and appropriate new site in the area, as it is a strong performing store for us.
"The next nearest stores in the meantime, for our loyal Robert Dyas customers, are Poole and Christchurch."
Now, there are plans for two shops to take over the space, with brands names to be confirmed.
Castlepoint will see two store closures, while one opens and another relocates.
Centre manager David Pickett told the Bournemouth Echo: “It’s been a busy few weeks at Castlepoint with news that Mango will soon be joining our line-up, Waterstones will be moving to a new unit - taking a new lease that keeps them here in Bournemouth longer, complete with the much enjoyed Caffè Nero in-store - and confirmation of Tui’s opening later this month.
"I can also confirm that TK Maxx has extended its lease to remain trading here, with HomeSense part and parcel."
Meanwhile, Clintons card shop will be pulling down the shutters for good.
