Discount chain with nearly 200 branches to close another store amid shake up A DISCOUNT store with almost 200 branches has confirmed the closure of another branch amid a shake up.
Explaining the reasons for the closure a spokesperson from TOFS said: “We can confirm that sadly we will be exiting our store in Great Harwood on February 28, after the landlord served a break to end the lease of this store early.
Despite the closures, the retail chain also opened 27 stores in 2024 and still has plans to continue its "store transformation" programme this year.
In December a spokesperson for the retailer said: "The Original Factory Shop has been offering communities a great range of products at unbeatable value since 1969.
Commenting on a social media post confirming the closure one said: "Such a loss to our little town, not only the store but the most amazingly helpful, hardworking, friendly, dedicated team of amazing staff.".
