THE MANAGER of Store 21 in Chard has given assurances that the shop will not be closing in the foreseeable future.
The comments came after it was announced that the company would be shutting around 90 of its shops to avoid bankruptcy.
The Manager of Store Twenty One said: “We will not be closing. It is mostly stores in the north which will be closing. I think all of the Scotland stores are going to close, and then some of the stores in the north as well. Overall it is about 90 shops."
The supervisor agreed that Store Twenty One staying open was the good news that Chard needed after the closure of My Local just a few doors down.
Last week, Chard's mayor Dave Bulmer said that the closure of MyLocal was sad news for the town.
