A nearly half-century old Bancroft business is getting ready to close for good.
McCaskie TV & Stereo’s last day of operation will be on Tuesday, Oct. 17. The store is closing because owner Mike McCaskie is retiring after running the business for 47 years.
It has sold various electronic products, at various locations, over the years and has been at 59 Hastings St. N. since the early 2000s, where daughter Amy Mills has also helped out.
Mills says Tuesday will be a “bittersweet” day.

“Our customers have been very supportive of us over 47 years,” she says. “It’s a sad time. But it’s a happy time, too.”
McCaskie says the location is up for sale. He hopes another business will end up there and contribute to the downtown.
