Reference: See hereThe closure of the Sutton branch in south London was announced last month , with the supermarket finally shutting up shop yesterday (October 5).
After news broke of the closure, locals took to a residents' Facebook group to voice their disappointment.
One said: ⁘Sutton could end up a dormitory town as Crawley was, no services, or many shops in town, but plenty of places to live and good transport to get to and from it.⁘
However, the chain does have plans to reopen the site at some point in the future, according to a spokesperson.
Property Director Alistair Kay said: ⁘The closure is due to our landlord intending to redevelop the land the building sits on. No other Farmfoods shops are affected.
⁘We're grateful to all our customers for their loyalty shopping with us at the site over the years and will continue to look for suitable opportunities to reopen in Sutton in future.⁘
High energy costs and a move to shopping online after the pandemic are also taking a toll, and many high street shops have struggled to keep going.
