“Don’t wait, come and explore the new store today.”
Mountain Warehouse has been closing stores across the country as many popular retailers struggle to make it work on the high street.
Figures from the British Retail Consortium reveal that 6,000 retail outlets have closed their doors for good in the last five years.
The trade association said the closures were partly due to ‘crippling’ business rates and also the impact of Covid lockdowns.
This has forced multiple popular brands such as Wilko, Cath Kidston and Paperchase to go into administration.
However, the Mountain Warehouse store in Swindon will continue to sell its outdoor equipment in its new and upgraded home.
