Beyond the void it will leave in the area and how difficult it is to say goodbye to the family business, the owner’s daughter, Tania, has asked for “all the help possible” to “sell” the products still remaining in the small store because it is “urgent” to clear it out. The young woman shared the appeal through her account on the social network X, formerly Twitter. “If you know anyone who might need even the smallest thing, we would be infinitely grateful. It would be very sad to have to throw everything in the trash,” she explained in the post.
Among the items still in the premises and up for sale are materials related to construction, stonework, marble and funerary art, as well as tools and cleaning products. There are, for example, bronze crosses and containers for the cemetery, granite polishing discs, mallets, hammers, rasps, metal shelving, pallets, sandpaper, silicone products and carpenter’s pencils. “A bit of everything,” Tania sums up.
My father has had to close his business, a small premises, but in the end it represents a lifetime’s work.
I didn’t think I would have to do this, but I’m asking for maximum exposure and all possible help for people in Zaragoza and the surrounding area. Thread continued below?? pic.twitter.com/ZxA8bH0oHf — ?t de targaryen? (@tania_pvris) September 22, 2026
There are also personal belongings that the family had been storing at the premises for years. These include several old monitors, electric radiators, a red Nikon camera, an Asus computer, a Scalextric set, a collection of National Geographic and Disney VHS tapes, and several bicycles.
The response has been very positive, according to Tania. “People have been incredibly kind and generous,” she says, after receiving numerous inquiries about many of the items still for sale. The family is especially grateful for that support, because “the slightest help is more than welcome.”
“IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE SALES FALLING EVERY DAY”
The woman from Zaragoza explained to ARAGÓN DIGITAL how “difficult” it is to see how “sales keep declining every day because of the rise of large companies, while shops in the neighborhood are closing one after another.” The small family business began to notice a drop in sales during the Covid pandemic in 2020. “It was the trigger that ultimately harmed neighborhood businesses,” she says.
Tania says her mother had to leave the business to find another job to support the family, while her father remained in charge of the premises. “As a self-employed worker, my father could not receive any financial aid when he closed because he was not covered by a temporary layoff scheme,” she explains.
The convenience of buying from large companies online was another reason Sumizara’s sales volume gradually declined, eventually leading the family to make the “difficult” decision to “close permanently.” “It was impossible to carry on any longer,” the young woman laments.
The business’s history dates back to the 1970s, when Tania’s grandfather set it up under the name Pedro González Marqués S. C. Years later, her parents took over and updated the project with a new identity, Sumizara, in an attempt to give it a fresh “boost” and strengthen its presence both in the Torrero neighborhood and the surrounding areas.
