A CLOSING down sale begins this week, starting today (Monday), at the Manx Electricity Authority’s two remaining showrooms – those at Douglas and Ramsey.
There will be up to 50 per cent off on remaining stock.
The MEA showrooms began closing their doors to the public for the final time at the end of May.
Four were on the market with Chrystals – with a price tag ranging from £325,000 for the Ramsey outlet on Bowring Road to £595,000 for Stanley House, which was home for the MEA’s Castletown branch.
The other two showrooms, Station Road in Port Erin and Michael Street in Peel were advertised for sale with an asking price of £350,000 each, making a total for the four premises of £1.62 million.
Former chief minister Tony Brown had been opposed to the closure of the showrooms, insisting they provided an important community service in the island’s towns. But losses spiralled from £414,000 in 2009-10 to £592,000 the following year.
