A few of the UK's biggest retailers are due to close branches this year as the high street continues to struggle. Thousands of jobs will go as businesses continue to battle with the Cost of Living Crisis, recover from the impact of Covid as well as the UK leaving the EU.
Retailers are also feeling the pinch due to high inflation, which was sitting at 10.1 per cent in January. Although it's fallen for the third month in a row, food inflation is at a 45-year high, with a supermarket boss warning that grocery prices will remain elevated this year.
That, combined with the surge in energy prices and wages not keeping up, has meant many of our-favourite shops will vanish from the high street. DevonLive has compiled a list of all shops set to close this year.
