A major retailer has confirmed its store at Broughton Park is set to close as it works to secure the long-term future of the business.

TGJones has announced the closure of its Broughton Park shop following the implementation of a restructuring plan approved by the Court.

The retailer, which took over the former WHSmith high street business, said a closing-down sale will take place before the Flintshire store shuts its doors.

TGJones has stated that the store is expected to close on January 9.

A spokesperson for TGJones said: "As we work to secure the long-term future of TGJones, we have confirmed that our Broughton Park shop will close.

"We know this will be disappointing news for our colleagues, customers and the local community.

"Our focus now is on supporting those affected and continuing to serve customers throughout the closure period.

"We would like to thank all of our colleagues for their commitment and the contribution they have made to TGJones."

The Broughton shop had remained open despite a wider programme of closures at TGJones.

The retailer's Wrexham branch on Hope Street closed in September following its own closing-down sale.

The closure also resulted in the loss of the city's main Post Office branch that was operating from inside the store.

TGJones' restructuring plan was approved by the High Court in July and allows the closure of up to 150 stores as the business seeks to cut costs and secure its future.

As recently as October, the Broughton Park branch was still trading alongside the company's Mold store.

TGJones said customers will continue to be served throughout the Broughton closing-down period and can also shop at nearby branches or online.

The company has not said in the information supplied how many employees at Broughton will be affected by the closure.
