'End of era' as Rovers Fishing Tackle shop announces closure with 'new chapter' pending
After five “wonderful” decades, the “end of an era” is looming at a fishing shop, with fresh management set to start a “new chapter” at the site.
Rovers Fishing Tackle, in West Street, Fareham, has announced it is closing down, with new management set to take over the business, which will now be known as Tommy’s Tackle.
A Facebook post said: “End of an Era – And the Start of a New Chapter. After 50 wonderful years Rovers Fishing Tackle will be closing its doors. We want to thank the generations of anglers, customers and friends who have supported us over the years.
“Your loyalty, stories and shared love of fishing made this shop something truly special. While this is the end of an era for Rovers Fishing Tackle, we are pleased to share that the shop will continue under new ownership as Tommy’s Tackle — and the familiar Rovers staff will still be here to welcome you.
“This shop may be changing hands, but the memories and community built here will live on. Thank you everyone and best of luck to Tommys Tackle.”
