Meadowhall: Popular shop Mooch, near Primark and Next, closes after a year

Mooch sold greeting cards, gift wrap, home décor, candles and stationery, among other items.

But the branch on The Gallery, near a giant Next and Primark, has now shut for good. 

In June, a spokesperson for the shopping centre said: “This is part of a wider programme of store closures by the brand across the UK.”

Mooch’s Meadowhall store had mixed reviews from customers, with one fan calling it a ‘lovely gift shop’ but other shoppers describing the items sold there as ‘overpriced’. It has an average rating of 3.5/5 stars from eight Google reviews.

It comes as a combined Sports Direct and Frasers prepares to open at the megamall on Wednesday, September 25.
