Hot on the heels of Morrisons Regent Circus announcing the store is set to close, the Co-Op in Hyde Road, Stratton St Margaret has also announced it is set to close.
Although Morrisons is set to close due to profitability reasons it is understood the Co-Op is closing due to being unable to agree a new lease with the sites landlords.
A Spokesperson for Co-op, said:
“The Co-op continually explores opportunities to open new stores, while also regularly reviewing our existing stores.
Discussions to extend the lease on our Stratton St Margaret store have not proved viable, and our lease is coming to an end.
We are aware that the landlord is seeking a new use for the site. Every effort will be made to fully support colleagues, who have been informed, with finding alternative employment.
The store will continue to serve the community until a date for its closure is confirmed.”
