After 18 years in business, Hull party shop, Hullaballoon is closing its doors for the final time.
The popular business has been operating since 2007, when owner Elaine Hakim set up the store with her son, Mark Carter after a period selling balloons at Hull Fair.
Elaine and her family grew the business to one with clients including P&O Ferries, Hull Trains and Heron Foods.
Elaine told Hull Live: “It’s been a really hard decision. We’ve had lots of loyal, good customers and we’d like to say thank you to them. We’ve made lots of people happy over the years.”
Elaine has made the decision to retire and close the business, but will honour all parties already booked.
