It has been announced that it will shut permanently on Wednesday, May 12. The three-storey unit is currently among the final 49 stores still in operation. It is unknown what will become of it when Debenhams closes but, in a recent interview, Golden Square director Ian Cox said there was interest in the unit. After scraping through previous years, the pandemic saw Debenhams finally fall into administration. In January, online fashion retailer Boohoo bought the Debenhams brand and website in a £55million rescue deal that will see the company operate as an online-only retailer from next year. Debenhams in Golden Square reopened on April 12 for a final closing down sale when non-essential retailers were given the green light to reopen. The number of jobs lost in Warrington and altogether as a result is still unknown, but with stores closing across the 242-year-old brand, it is unlikely many of the remaining 12, 000 jobs will be saved. A Debenhams spokesman said: “We are now heading into the final days of our closing down sale and this is the very last chance for our customers to take advantage of some incredible deals. “With up to 80 per cent off across our remaining stores, customers are urged to shop now while stocks last. “Over the next 10 days, Debenhams will close its doors on the high street for the final time in its 242-year history.
