Another long-time Cambridge business is closing its doors for good as Peavey Mart on Dundas Street is calling it quits.
The store announced over the weekend that after 24 years, it will be closing its doors for good Sept. 30.

"It will be difficult to say goodbye, but we wanted to take the opportunity to express our love and appreciation for everyone that has made this location a joy to work at," said the Facebook post.
