As reported by The Press online on Monday, the national supermarket chain said its Foss Bank store in the city centre will close in January 2025 when its lease expires.
The company said it understood that the landlord is looking at regeneration and development of the site.

He and his daughter Liz had just finished a shop at the store when they spoke to The Press.
