DANVERS, MA — Changing times could mean changing colors in Danvers as "The Purple Building" home of Light 'N Leisure is set to close.
The retailer said on Friday that it was closing its North Shore location "while solidifying their commitment to bringing top-quality lighting and ceiling fans at the absolute lowest prices possible to their customers."
"After 40+ years in Danvers the time has come to close this location," the retailer posted on its website Friday morning. "We will still be here bigger and better than ever online, on the phone and in our other locations where we can serve the needs of today's customers more efficiently."
