Several branches of a major discount department store chain are set to shut their doors this month, with more closures expected later in the summer.

Shoppers have already spotted "closing down" sales at some Original Factory Shop locations, where stock is being sold off at heavily discounted prices.

Photos of the sales have been shared on Facebook, with one post noting: “Up to 11 TOFS stores are set to close this month, including sites across Worcestershire, Durham and Cumbria.”

A spokesperson for the retailer told The Press and Journal: “The Original Factory Shop (TOFS) recently confirmed that, as part of a restructuring, a number of its loss-making stores will have to close.

"Closing stores is always a tough decision and we are committed to keeping as many stores open as possible. This is, however, dependent on successful negotiations with landlords as we strive to build a sustainable and successful business for the future.”
