A HIGH street retailer has launched a huge discount sale before disappearing from the high street today.
The Original Factory Shop will be closing at least two stores in May.
Stores in Bideford and Stourport revealed on Facebook that its shops would shut.
And the Bideford shop said that today (May 21) is the last day it’ll be open.
To mark its closing, the store has launched a massive sale and shoppers can save 50% on items.
It wrote: “LAST DAY TODAY!!!
“For your final chance to pick up a bargain in store, we are open 10-4 today. Check us out.”
The company sells homeware items, clothing, stationery and other home essentials.
If you’re after something at The Original Factory Shop then you’ll need to be quick, as once stock is gone it’ll be gone.
