Local comic book and hobby shop Comic Quest has announced they will be closing after 35 years of operation, due to the changes brought by the ongoing pandemic.

In a post from their official Facebook, the store's management revealed their decision to shut down business.

"We just want to let you know that because of the combined pressure of the pandemic, as well as the disruption of the global distribution of comic books, we've had to make the difficult decision to begin the process of closing down Comic Quest. It is and has been an extremely challenging time for us, and we feel that this is our best option moving forward.

"We want to thank each and every one of you for being one of our valuable loyal customers and a very important member of the Comic Quest family. We wouldn't have reached 35 wonderful years in business without loyal customers like you. Our sincerest and most heartfelt thanks for being with us through all these years," the post read.

In gratitude for their customers, Comic Quest also announced a farewell sale, offering discounts for all their items from September 16 to October in their SM Megamall Branch.

"In line with our decision, we're holding a special FAREWELL SALE from September 16th and into October, at our SM Megamall branch. During this time we will be selling ALL items from at least 50% off and up. Please help us spread the word and share this message with other friends and collectors whom you think might be interested."
