The shop survived a round of closures under its new owner in September - but will succumb to another, larger, cull.
At the time, the Times reported 130 would close in coming months.
TG Jones was created when Modella Capital bought 480 high street WH Smith shops last year.
In July this year a court approved a restructuring plan which saw landlords cut rents in return for Modella ploughing money into a turnaround and a share of future profits.
