Nottingham shoppers say they aren’t surprised after a shoe store in the city centre announced its closure. Clarks on Wheeler Gate has shut its doors for good.
The shop, now empty, has a sign that reads: “This isn’t goodbye, thank you for shopping with us.” It then lists other Clarks outlets nearby.
Shoppers have said that the closure doesn’t surprise them as Clarks has another store nearby in Long Row. Software engineer Chris Hoptkins, 35, from West Bridgford, said: “I hope the sales assistants are sent to other stores and their jobs are safe but it isn’t surprising really.
