The store promoted a number of sales leading up to its closure

Duncan James Menswear was a 'staple of the town' for over six decades, dressing wedding guests, Cheltenham fans, and even a Swiss rock band called the Hillbilly Moon Explosion.

A sign on the door of the old industrial building, which sits next door to high-end Indian eatery Five Rivers, reads: "Please be aware that Duncan James Menswear has ceased trade. Any enquiries should be addressed to Currie Young Ltd at sjc@currieyoung.com, or 01782394500."

The same message pops up on the shop's website.
