A MAJOR shoe retailer with over 60 stores across the nation is set to shut a location.
The doomed spot is located in a shopping centre and due to vanish in weeks.
Footasylum Women’s will close a store in Leeds.
The streetwear and shoe chain is set to shutter its spot at The Core Shopping Centre in Lands Lane.
This branch opened in April 2022 but will now close within weeks.
Shoppers will be able to snap up some bargains as the branch has launched a closing sale.
It comes as The Core Shopping Centre is set to be demolished.
The retail site, in the heart of Leeds, will be replaced with three blocks of flats, according to Leeds Live.
Each of these towers will also have a bridge crossing to connect the buildings.
These blocks will reportedly house student flats.
These apartment buildings will also have some retail spaces on the ground level.
Footasylum Women’s has not been the only brand to lose out on stores recently.
Select Fashion revealed it was ready to wipe dozens of stores from the high street.
It comes after documents, shared with The Sun, detailed how a total of 35 stores would shutter across February and March.
It is understood that closures will complete by March 15, giving shoppers in impacted areas just shy of two weeks to say their goodbyes.
Homebase was once a giant of British retail but has since nearly disappeared from the map.
The DIY chain entered administration in November last year but was partially rescued by billionaire Chris Dawson, owner of CDS Superstores, the parent company of The Range and Wilko.
Dawson’s vision for the company is to preserve as many as 70 stores, protecting 1,600 jobs.
Despite this, three locations closed on Monday.
The Bury St Edmunds branch on the Moreton Hall Estate served its last customers.
It was joined by stores in Halbeath Retail Park in Dunfermline and Moor Allerton Centre in Leeds, with both locations also closing.
