Debenhams, which has a large branch at The Broadway, will then shut all of its 118 stores nationwide for good after being bought out by online retailer Boohoo in a £55 million deal.

It has been a mainstay on UK high streets for 242 years, but is now set to shut its doors for good.

A spokesperson for Debenhams said: “This is the last chance for customers in England and Wales to visit their local Debenhams before sadly our stores close for good.

“We will be reopening with a fantastic range of offers and discounts across all of our customers’ favourite brands and products.

“Stocks are limited and expected to sell out quickly so customers should visit their nearest store quickly to avoid disappointment. We are very grateful for the efforts of our staff who have worked so hard throughout the most difficult of circumstances to keep the business trading.”
