Reference: Found hereSHOPPERS have been left fearing a ⁘ghost town⁘ after finding out a discounter with 850 UK branches is set to close one of its stores.
Poundland is gearing up to pull down the shutters on its site inside The Shires Shopping Centre in Trowbridge, Wiltshire .
It comes after terms on the shop's lease could not be agreed between the retailer and shopping centre's management.
The Sun asked Poundland to comment on the closure, and confirm an exact closure date and we will update this story when we have heard back.
⁘Looking forward, we are excited to welcome new businesses to The Shires in the coming months, enhancing the shopping experience for our community.⁘
Posting online, one said: ⁘Ghost town when are the local MPs gonna get involved and say enough is enough time to cap the ground rent and cap how much rent landlord's can charge.⁘
Meanwhile, a third chimed in: ⁘Why am I NOT surprised, in another three years Trowbridge will be a ghost town off (sic) empty shops.⁘
The discounter pulled down the shutters on a store in Altrincham, Greater Manchester , just last month, after taking it on from failed chain Wilko last year.
