A BIG supermarket is to close more stores tomorrow following a string of closures.
Iceland has already shut the doors on half a dozen shops, with the next two set to close on Saturday, April 22.

Six stores closed for good earlier this year, including branches in Bromsgrove, Basingstoke and Rhyl.
It comes as a number of big retailers look to close branches as they struggle with high energy costs and soaring inflation.
Iceland shoppers in Newport, South Wales, will lose their branch in Clarence Place tomorrow.
While Iceland in Marygate, Berwick, will also shut its doors tomorrow for the final time.
These two stores closures will bring the total number of Iceland closures this year to eight.
Below is a list of stores that have already closed:
- Mill Lane, Bromsgrove – closed on February 25
- Chineham Shopping Centre in Basingstoke – closed on February 25
- White Rose Centre, Rhyl – closed on March 14
- South Street, Newport, Isle of Wight – closed on March 25
- St Catherine’s Place, Bedminster, Bristol – closed on March 25
- Deiniol Centre, Bangor – closed on March 27
An Iceland spokesperson previously told The Sun: “We continually review our Iceland Foods and The Food Warehouse store portfolio to ensure we’re delivering the best experiences for our customers across the country.”

Across Iceland and The Food Warehouse, the chain has over 800 stores.
It’s not clear at the moment whether more branches will follow suit later in the year.
There are currently around 500 Iceland branches and 153 Food Warehouse stores in the UK.
A number of British high street brands have closed stores in recent months.

How can I save at Iceland?
There are plenty of deals and loyalty offers not to be missed at Iceland.
For example, there’s the Bonus Card Loyalty Scheme – it grants access to exclusive offers and lets you plan a budget by saving up cash in your account.
Launched in 2021, it’s free to sign up for online and you’ll just need to provide a few quick details.
With it, you can get the following special benefits:
- £1 bonus each time you add £20 to your savings balance
- Exclusive Bonus Card prices
- Free home delivery in stores and online
- Prizes and offers
It’s a similar thing to other loyalty schemes like Asda rewards and Tesco Clubcard.
It’s good to always shop around regardless of the offers you see though, because you never know what you’re missing elsewhere.
Use comparison tools like Trolley.co.uk to browse the price of an item from other supermarkets so you know you’re getting the best deal.
