Diamond Pet Supplies, in Ryde High Street, is closing as its owners look to retire.
The news means there will soon be two vacant stores next to each other, and Mountain Warehouse will also close.

With a “heavy heart”, John and Debbie who have been running Diamond Pet Supplies for the past seven years, said the time was right for them to call it a day.
A sign appeared on the door of the store, showing the news.
It read: “We would like to sincerely thank all our loyal customers many of whom have become friends over the years.”

Diamond Pet Supplies sells pet food and accessories and also has a website.
The store will be closed this Holy Week.
Before moving to where it is now, it was previously based at 18 High Street.
Its current home was formerly The Bagel Wrap – now located on Union Street.
