High street clothing chain to shut branch in days as it launches huge 70% off closing down sale

A BRANCH of a high street retail chain is to close in just days – as it launches a 70% off sale.

Shoppers will be saying farewell to the singular branch on Tuesday, April 8.

Newlife's store in Quedam Shopping Centre, Yeovil is shutting its doors.

Until the official closing day, selected lines will have up to 70 per cent off while stocks last.

A spokesperson for Newlife Stores said: “We’re sorry to announce that Newlife Stores Yeovil will be closing its doors on April 8.

“A massive thank you to all our amazing customers for your incredible support over the years.

“Your support has helped us provide vital services and resources for children in need.

“As we prepare to close, we kindly ask for your continued support and kindness towards our staff – they’ve been amazing every step of the way.”;

Writing online, customers have shared their disappointment over the branch's closure.

One penned: “People need this shop. I need this shop. Why are you closing this store now?”;

Another added: “Sad times. It’s been a great addition to our high street. The staff have all been incredible.”

While a third chimed in: “So sad to hear this. It’s my fave shop in town.”

A fourth simply reacted: “Nooo!!!!!! Why?!”

The children's charity Newlife was founded more than three decades ago.

It aims to ensure terminally ill and disabled children get the best possible start in life.

To do so, they provide essential specialist equipment including beds, wheelchairs and buggies.

Other high streets have also faced the blow of much-loved shops closing.

Earlier this year, it was revealed Cool Britannia, the legendary UK souvenir shop, – much to the dismay of customers.

The retail store has long served British-themed merchandise including Union Jack flags, landmark mementoes and novelty items.

It was long-revered as a hotspot for tourists and recognisable as a quintessentially British store to locals, with multiple sites across the country.

The sad was revealed online by a gutted shopper who posted a picture of the shop on Facebook with closing down sale posters on the windows.
