'This is not the end for us' - Central Arcade shop announces closure
A city centre shop dedicated to Newcastle United memorabilia has announced it is set to close.
Toon Kit Collector opened in July in a limited three month run, although the site’s popularity saw the site extend its time in Central Arcade into the New Year.
It has now announced the date it will close.

A statement posted to social media reads: “Next Saturday marks the end of our shop in the city centre, and what a chapter it’s been.
“What began as a simple three-month pop-up back in July quickly became so much more.
“We’ve loved every minute of being in town, meeting so many incredible people, learning as we went, and building something we’re genuinely proud of.
“The support, the chats, the community, it’s meant more to us than we can put into words.
“On Saturday 31st January, we’ll be closing the doors to our city centre store.But this is not the end.
“We’ll still be here online, and we have some very exciting plans in the pipeline that we can’t wait to share.
“This chapter is coming to a close, but the journey is far from over.If anything, this is just the end of the beginning.
“Thank you for being part of it.”
The brand will still operate on its website.
