I'm sure there is/was a poster on here working there. Obviously I can't remember his name

There was a thread about this a while ago. General consensus is that sadly, it's no real loss. I think they were doing AITC more harm than good with their ridiculous pricing for poor quality tat.

Very important for historical planning applications. No longer needed.

It was the same lady managing the store when it closed. I know AITC funding has been cut, which has resulted in the areas of which they cover reducing as well. My guess would be the store wasn't considered to be worth the cost.
