The first business closure to blame Willow Street roadworks as a cause, shut down on Friday.
The Copy Centre has been operating on the corner of Willow and Hamilton Streets for 13 years, until it went into voluntary liquidation this week.

Five staff will lose their jobs.
It wasn't just the Willow Street works, says manager Vicki Pearson. Earlier street works in Hamilton Street right outside the Copy Centre were also a factor.
"That was supposed to take a week, and it took over three weeks," says Vicki.
"And then when this happened out here they put a 'road closed' sign at the end of the road, at The Strand end. That's only just been taken away the last few days.
Gary at the vege shop (City Markets) went absolutely ballistic."
The Copy Centre has hundreds of regular customers on its books, including, ironically, the Tauranga City Council, and many other central city businesses like the nearby courts, downtown restaurants and businesses from the wider community like landscapers.
"The list goes on. We have a big customer base. It's a shame because the girls here are really good."
They have a pair of "brilliant" graphic designers and the two behind the counter are "dynamite with the customers", says Vicki.
Vicki has been working with the business owner Des Oborn for 14 years. Des started in the copy business when he ran the Post Shop in downtown Mount Maunganui.
Gary Warner at City Markets says turnover is down 25-30 per cent since the road works started.
"It's still not back even now we have got access," says Gary.
"The oldies get confused if they see signs and cones. It has hurt us big time. I've had to give a lot of stuff away just to get customers back.
"It is scary stuff and we are not out of the woods yet, we are looking at another 4-5 weeks."
