The doors of the Leycester St Foodworks - still often affectionately known as Menins - have temporarily reopened.

Owner Christine Lancaster is having a closing down sale in a bid to sell off the last of the shop’s stock.

Among the items still left are drinks, juices, breakfast cereals, washing powders, petfood and frozen meals.

“Everything is under $10,” Christine told the Lismore App.

“The soft drinks are all $1, deodorants are all $3, regardless of variety and brand.

“Everything across the whole store is drastically reduced.”

Christine decided to shut the shop - which has been a local fixture for decades - when the lease came up for renewal at the end of June.

Almost all of the fixtures have already been sold.

“Basically the only thing I've got left to sell is the deli cabinets,” she said.

Christine said her plan was still to move back to Queensland, where she has family.

She said she had no idea what would become of the building once she left.

The closing down sale would last a few more days and she would close the doors of the store permanently on Monday or Tuesday, she added
