THE SITE of a former luxury jewellery and watch store in Llandudno has been snapped up, three years after the business closed.

The building that was once home to Gimberts, at 94 Mostyn Street, had been on the market with estate agents St David’s Commercial for £285,000.

Gimberts had traded in the resort town for more than 40 years until its abrupt closure in 2020, having failed to reopen after the New Year break, and with no message to customers.

Once stocked with luxury jewellery and watches, and well-known for its fine china, the site has lay empty since but the sign remains.

The property has been described as in a “prime” location by the estate agent, who said it had been bought by a property company who would renovate the site.

The building is made up of three floors, with additional basement storage, which can be used for retail, offices and accommodation.

St David's Commercial said of the sale: "At last, new owners will renovate and continue to improve the fabulous listed building Llandudno has to offer."
