The Original Factory Shop closes three stores in Britain: big sale.

The Original Factory Shop is closing three more branches and launching huge sales with discounts of 60 percent.

According to The Sun: The street retail chain is shuttering its outlets across the UK as part of a major restructuring.

Branches in Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire, Normanton in West Yorkshire, and Kirkham in Lancashire have already closed. Now stores in March in Cambridgeshire, Chard in Somerset, and Horley in Surrey are next.

The store in March announced this yesterday.

The store wrote on their Facebook page: “It’s with huge sadness, but our store will be closing down. “Starting tomorrow, we will go into our closing-down sale. All stock must go. We also want to thank all our customers for shopping with us.”

This news has shocked some, with one shopper saying: “Oh, I love this store.”

Another added: “Soon nothing will be left in March, sorry for the wonderful staff.”

A third emphasized the importance of supporting street retail and said: “Use it or lose it. How many people in the comments haven’t been for years and then are shocked by news like this? If a big company like this relies on local support, think about how crucial it is to have support for local businesses.”
