A MAJOR high street brand with 700 branches in the country is shutting two stores in days, leaving shoppers disappointed.

The company has confirmed its shops in Chard, Somerset , and Frinton-on-Sea, Essex , will be closing their doors over the next two weeks.

The Chard store will close on Wednesday, August 14, and after that date the closest location for customers will be Honiton, East Devon, which is 13.5 miles away.

A spokesperson for Holland and Barrett told The Sun that the closures are part of a ⁘location review⁘.

They said H⁘B has worked with staff individually and, where possible, they have taken roles in other nearby stores .

The company said it is investing £70million in transforming its stores, technology and developing new products for customers.

H⁘B said its regular review of locations includes ⁘opening new stores, consolidating some smaller stores into one larger store, and in some instances closing stores where there is no longer strong customer demand.⁘
