The Silver Snail comic store has announced the shuttering of its Ottawa location after 25 years in business, citing a lack of foot traffic due to the “economic downtown” in a blog post.

The news comes three years after the expansion and relocation of the company’s Toronto store from its iconic Queen Street West location.

The store at 391 Bank Street has already commenced a 50 per cent off closing sale, and will remain open and receiving titles until its final day on Sept. 13.
