After 23 years trading, the Witham store has been closed, with the retailer moving to a home-based business.
A post on Balloons and Laughter’s Facebook page explained that the land the store was located on, has been sold to developers, meaning the owners, Lorraine and Neil, had to close the store.
The business will be continuing as a home-based service, offering collections and a delivery service on certain orders.
The post said: “We would like to thank all of our customers for the support over last 25 years.
