House of Fraser is set to close one of its two remaining Welsh stores for good next month. The fashion brand has confirmed it will close its shop in Cwmbran Centre after serving notice to terminate its lease on June 23.
Seen as Cwmbran Centre's flagship store, the shop has a long history in the town having been on the site for 58 years. Its departure means the House of Fraser store in Cardiff city centre will be the only one left in Wales.
LCP, the property and investment company that took over Cwmbran Centre earlier this year, said it was "disappointed" to see the store close but said it would "use its departure as an opportunity to kickstart our plans to revitalise and develop Gwent Square." It said it would reveal plans to revamp that area of the shopping centre "over the next few months."
