AFTER 20 years at the heart of the community, Maple Milford has today closed its doors for the final time.

The owners say the decision to close was not made lightly.

They say that for two decades, Maple Milford has been more than a shop, it has been a community hub, a place of connection, and an integral part of the fabric of Milford.

“We have been truly blessed to share this journey with our loyal customers, our dedicated staff, and our supportive partners,” said Arthur McMahon, Managing Director. “You have been at the very heart of everything we’ve achieved.”

Despite the company’s best efforts, changing circumstances and the inability to reach a sustainable agreement with the new landlord made it impossible to continue operating at this location.

While the closure marks the end of a much loved chapter in Milford, Maple is pleased to confirm that its seven other shops remain unaffected, and customers will continue to be welcomed at those locations.

“We extend our deepest thanks to everyone who has stood by us,” Mr. McMahon continued.

“Your support, encouragement, and trust over the last 20 years have meant more than words can say.

“On behalf of the entire Maple family, thank you for being such an important part of our story.”
