"Our on-site shop Fishing Republic Crewe is closing, the date we have been given for closure is August 25, 2025 (this may happen sooner dependant on stock).
"As many of you are already aware Lakemore members receive a great discount in store, this will continue to be the case until such time as they close down,
"With your Lakemore discount, your Go Outdoors discount card and further offers becoming available over the next few months, you are looking at saving massive amounts on loads of great products.
"More importantly though, our thoughts are of course with the lads who work in the shop, Nick, Matt, Hooky, Dave and Pete, who were all told the terrible news they are losing their jobs.
"Many of the lads have been an integral part of the shop/site and Lakemore fisheries expansion for more years than i can remember.
