A city centre B&M store has been emptied by shoppers in a closing down spree. The discount store in Newport’s Kingsway shopping centre told customers it was closing down this week, sparking a rush for bargain products.
Emotional staff at the store were overrun with customers with everything being sold at 50% earlier this week, and pictures show the store desolate on Thursday afternoon ahead of the last day of trading on Friday, October 21. Every product left in the shop on Friday was sold at 75% off.
WalesOnline approached B&M for an explanation as to why the store was closing, but it did not respond. The premises was first made available for lease through real estate agent Savills in March, with a monthly rental figure of £8,750.
