WH Smith has confirmed it “expects” to close it’s store in Street at the start of next year.
Though the retailer said it remains in discussions with the landlord of the High Street shop, it was unlikely to continue trading far into 2025.
A spokesperson said: “Regrettably, it is not sustainable for us to continue trading in this location.
“We remain in discussion with our landlord, however we expect our store in Street to close in early 2025.”
The branch includes a Post Office counter, which would also close if WH Smith shut.
A vacancy for a franchisee to provide Post Office services in the town is now being advertised by the firm.
“Post Office Ltd is looking for a successful retailer to incorporate a Post Office Main into their existing or proposed business,” the listing said.
Once again Clark’s shopping village gets its way!!
My disabled son lives in Friarn Street care home, and visited Smiths and Post office, now closed, where does he go for post office now- his Mother and advocate as carers don’t appear to care for him so I’m trying to get an address for him?
