Iceland announces Merseyside store to close permanently

Iceland is set to permanently close a Birkenhead store on September 16.

The Grange Road location is set to close in a matter of months. Along with the Birkenhead store, four others were announced for closure around the country, bringing this year's total to 16.

In a statement about the closures this year, an Iceland spokesperson previously told the Mirror: "Across Iceland and The Food Warehouse we have a portfolio of over UK 1,000 stores, and our retail estate has grown by nearly 200 stores over the last ten years.

"We typically open more than 20 new stores each year, creating many new jobs and contributing to the growth of local economies.

"At the same time, we continually review the retail experience offered to our customers and have always made a small number of store closures every year, as local shopping patterns change and shop leases expire. The business is currently trading very strongly, achieving record market shares."

The Grange Road branch will close permanently on September 16 at 6pm.
