A Chippewa Falls business is closing its doors after 43 years.

The owner of Rada's Menswear says the economy and competition contributed to his decision to close. Rick Rada says the store will sell what it has left and then close when it runs out of inventory, but he's not sure when that will be. He says he'll miss his customers and friends at the store the most. "I never thought it would be this hard, but it's the right decision and I'm comfortable with that and we're just gonna finish this up, have fun with our customers for a little more time and move on."

Rada says he was 13 when he started working for his parents at the store. They opened it in the summer of 1967.
