The lease of one of ex-Apprentice star Fran Bishop's Pud clothing shops is available to take on. The shop at the Four Seasons Shopping Centre, Mansfield, was one of several which have closed down in recent months.
A statement on The Pud Store website confirmed last year the business had entered liquidation. The lease of the former shop in Mansfield has since been listed on Rightmove.
Unit 45 at the shopping centre, in Quaker Way, measures 1,382sqft. And it is available on a long-term lease for any potential suitors.
