HIGH STREET shoppers have been dealt another major blow, as a leading fashion retailer announces the closure of three more stores. The popular brand, which operates over 105 locations, has been rolling out a series of closures across the UK. Three additional Select Fashion stores have now confirmed they're set to close their doors.

The Merthyr Tydfil store in Wales will close in March along with the Wellingborough store on March 15. The Wiltshire branch in Chippenham is also closing down. This follows five other closures announced earlier this month. Shoppers have flocked to social media to share their sadness over the decision.
One user wrote: "This is so sad, why is everything closing down.". Another said: "Oh no, i love this store.". Others blamed internet shopping, saying: "The internet (online shopping), mobiles, big stores like Tesco, Asda etc have killed the high street.". Merthyr locals were particularly worried about the high street facing yet another closure.
One local said: "Such a shame, Merthyr is becoming a ghost town, we're losing everything.". Another agreed, adding: "Merthyr needs its shops back.". Shoppers have been warned to "please check gift credit vouchers" before the shop closes. The previously announced closures include:.
The closures have launched a series of closing down sales, giving locals a chance to grab some bargains one last time. Select's closures comes after the British fashion brand - owned by Turkish entrepreneur Cafer Mahiroğlu - fell into administration in 2019.
