Over the last 18 months, a number of much loved stores have closed in Liverpool ONE.
Liverpool ONE is a shopping fan's paradise, with an eclectic mix of high street titans and lesser known boutiques. Based in the heart of the city centre, the modern, open-air complex is a haven of retail, dining, drinking and entertainment options.
It boasts more than 170 shops, restaurants and bars, as well as a 14-screen Odeon cinema, indoor golf course for those who fancy lowering their handicap, and a five acre park to peruse.

But over the last 18 months, the complex has said goodbye to a number of stores. The coronavirus pandemic, which began in early 2020, had a major impact on the hospitality and retail industries and, in some instances, led to the permanent closure of many independent shops, businesses, restaurants and more.
In recent months, the cost of living crisis has delivered another blow. This, combined with the long-standing ramifications of multiple lockdowns, has seen many businesses shut up shop for good.
All the Liverpool ONE stores that have recently closed
Adidas confirmed its 2023 closure with a sign in its windows which simply read: "This store is now closed, thank you to all of our customers."
A spokesperson for Liverpool ONE confirmed Guess had closed for good in February 2023. The clothing retailer opened on Paradise Street in 2017 and specialised in designer jeans, clothing and accessories. The store spanned two floors and stocked both men's and women's clothing.
ARKET announced the opening of its Liverpool store in spring 2018, opening in the autumn of the same year. Earlier this year, LBN Daily reported the store would be closing "within a matter of weeks".
COS
COS emailed its customers to confirm it would be permanently closing its Liverpool store on Monday, February 26, 2023. Like ARKET, it's owned by the H&M Group.
Liverpool's first Too Faced store originally opened in September 2019, but confirmed in July 2022 that it would be permanently shutting up shop with signs placed in its windows. Charlotte Tilbury has replaced the brand.
After a decade in Liverpool, the Disney Store confirmed its permanent closure in October 2021. The Liverpool ONE shop had a large sign outside, in a nod to Disney's Beauty and the Beast, which read: "Thank you for being our guest".
