About Bbc
This business, Carracks, is an independent paint shop that has been a fixture in the Crookes community since 1947. It was opened by Ben and Joan Carrack, parents of the musician Paul Carrack. The shop was later sold to Simon Bradbury in 2016. The business is closing due to a significant drop in customers undertaking home renovations and DIY projects, a trend exacerbated since Covid-19. While tradespeople still visit, the retail side, which provided consistent cash flow, has declined substantially. The owner cited changing customer habits, with people decorating less frequently, and the affordability of such projects as contributing factors.
