Fashion store in Hinckley's Britannia Centre closes
But a new tenant has already been found for the vacant unit
Britannia Shopping Centre
A popular fashion store in Hinckley town centre has closed down suddenly.
Notices were put up on the windows of the Select outlet in the Britannia Centre last week informing customers the shop was closed.
Anyone with returns was told they would be accepted at the nearest branches in Nuneaton, Coventry or Leicester.
Workers have been seen in the store packing up the fixtures and fittings.
The Hinckley Times has been unable to contact Select about the shutdown but Jonathan White of Hinckley BID said he believed the closure was down to the terms of the lease of the unit.
He added: "The good news is there is a new tenant to fill that vacancy so it is one out and one in. Obviously it's great that it will not by lying empty.
"I am not sure what is happening with Select but I don't think it was necessarily a decision down to them. I suggest it could be due to the terms of the lease.
"I think the new tenant will be moving into the unit within the next few weeks."
