SHOPPERS have just hours left to shop at a major retailer as it prepares to disappear off the high street.
It comes as it hosts its final sale after a number of branches closed over the past few months.

Paperchase is preparing to shut forever as it hosts its final day of trading today, April 3.
Shoppers can bag 80% off all stock in person since the stationer’s website already stopped trading.
The sale began as a 20% discount, which then hiked itself to 50%, 70% and finally 80% off all products.
You can nab items such as lined notebooks which were once £8 for £1.60 and all cards are now selling for 10p each.
It comes after the chain collapsed into administration late January and supermarket giant Tesco swooped in to buy the brand.
However, no shops have been saved so you’ll have to say your goodbyes today.
Here’s a list of 38 branches still open right now:

You can still use the store locator on the Paperchase website to check where your closest one is.
Do note that all concession stands in Next and Selfridges stores have closed as well.
Remember you’ll still be able to spot the brand in Tesco when it eventually arrives in stores, you just won’t be able to visit in person anymore.
The closures accompany roughly 900 redundancies across the brand.
Paperchase opened its first store in 1968 in Kensington, London.
It comes as nearly 15,000 jobs have been axed since the start of the year as dozens of retailers collapsed or were restructured.
M&Co, M&S and Clintons are among retailers affected by the closures and a few will even be disappearing this week.
For example the Clintons in Fife is going on April 8 and M&S has its Linthorpe Road branch in Middlesbrough shutting down the week after on April 15.
It’s a branch that first opened more than 100 years ago so it’s quite a historic event.
However, M&S is looking to open 104 more Foodhalls over the same period, so it’s not all bad news.
Many of the shops are expected to reopen in the same area or location as those earmarked for closure.
In terms of other closures H&M has also announced a couple – there will be at least two closures in Hartlepool and Isle of Wight lined up, but no dates are confirmed yet.
Wetherspoon also has 32 pubs up for sale – 13 of which are currently under offer, but they’re not confirmed as closing.
This is because a buyer has presented an offer that is being considered by the seller.
But it means the sale isn’t guaranteed, and it could still remain open if it doesn’t complete.
