It's always sad to see small local businesses close up shop. Unfortunately, Modern Exchange in Downtown, New Bedford is one of those.

The reasonably affordable upscale children's, junior's, men's, & women's consignment boutique on Union Street will be closed for good on April 15th, 2016; Doors will be close for the last time at 5:00 PM.

Modern Exchange asks that all customers who still have items to pick up to be collected by the end of the day on the closing date, please call ahead to schedule and appointment. All items left behind that were unclaimed will be kept by the company, no exceptions.

Customers and local shoppers are urged to take advantage of great deals on all items and business fixtures.

The owners of Modern Exchange had this to say:

"We would like to thank you for your support over the years. We have met so many wonderful customers and consignors along the way and will miss everyone!"- Modern Exchange

No word or explanation for the closing has been made at this time.
