High Street Blow: Laura Ashley Set to Shut Up Shop in Struggling Town Centre
The town’s High Street has taken another hit as Laura Ashley Home Furnishing & Fashion prepares to close its Palmerston Road store. This latest exit leaves the shopping centre looking emptier than ever.
Another Big Name Bites the Dust
Laura Ashley joins the likes of Heidi’s Patisserie next door and the former Garage Lounge branch in vacating the flagship retail spot. Their departures have turned this once-bustling strip into a ghostly shadow of its former self.
Iconic Brand Fades Away
Known for its quintessential British floral prints and pastel palettes, Laura Ashley was a household name that dominated middle-class UK homes in the 1980s. Now, after nearly 20 years trading here, the store is packing up for good.
Massive Closing Down Sale—Up to 70% Off
Set to shutter at the start of July, the shop is slashing prices with up to 70% off wallpapers and 60% off bed linens, lighting, paint, and display items. Bargain hunters should hurry before the final curtain falls.
