NEWS OF closures to stores in Colwyn Bay has hit traders in time for Christmas.
Homeware store Home Curtain and Bedding, on units 1 and 2 of the Bay View Shopping Centre, began trading in March 2010 and will be closing before their lease comes to an end in March next year.
Store manager Sue Wilson said it was “very sad”.
Fashion outlet QS, on Station Road, also confirmed their lease was coming to an end at the start of 2012 - but manager Karen Angus added that they were in negotiations to keep the store open.
Worries also arose for the future of the Dorothy Perkins and Burtons store in the Bay View Centre when owners Arcadia Group announced at the end of November that 250 of their stores are marked for closure. The group declined to comment on the future of their Bay store.
Ingrid Lewis, town manager for Colwyn Bay, said: “I understand that businesses are negotiating with the landlords for the future contracts, and we hope that there will be some positive resolution to their discussions.”
